Mafia Music: Heavy bass knocks while Ross delivers a no hook introduction with boasts and speaks on the latest issues that have occurred.
Maybach Music II: Grand synths and celebratory hook by T-Pain are enjoyable, while Kanye and Weezy drop appearances.
Magnificent: Relaxed mood, a more toned down "Here I Am", but similar in feel. Legend croons smoothly on the hook, while Ross' plays ladies man and lavish boss.
Yacht Club: Reggae hook by Magazeen, bouncy rhythm, the track is decent.
Usual Suspects: Similar in vein to "Maybach Music II", Nas assists on this soulful feel good joint.
All I Really Want: Not one of The-Dream's best hooks, and the beat isn't as impressive as previous work by Tricky Stewart, but its an understandable move for the second single.
Rich Off Cocaine: Avery Storm, "Here I Am"'s hook singer, returns for this reflective track about the past and rise to fame.
Lay Back: Robin Thicke delivers a more uptempo and less airy smooth vocals than usual, feel good production make for a summery number.
Murda Mami: Decent collab between Foxy Brown and Ross, don't know what I think. Seems a bit cliched and the hook isn't too catchy.
Gunplay: Average track, the production isn't bad, but the hook is tiresome and Ross' group, Triple C, has member Gunplay joining for less than stellar results.
Bossy Lady: Ne-Yo delivers a worthy hook, while Ross raps about his lady.
Face: Serving as the albums "Money Make Me Come", who else than baddest chick Trina to join for this unusual hook of "I'm gettin' face". Horn heavy beat, mediocre club joint.
Valley Of Death: Soul sample and reflective track for Ross about his past.
In Cold Blood: Menacing loop, Ross' diss track at 50.
A worthy third release from Ross, what you'd expect from a Miami release, synths, bass and especially celebratory boss status from Ross. Most tracks are summery, shiny numbers that rarely differ from past work, Ross has never been regarded as a gangsta music maker, he speaks about the lavish life here and the light hearted party productions help this even more.
