Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group signee has MTV’s Jam of the Week. By Steven Roberts Stalley Photo: MTV News Stalley ‘s inclusion in Rick Ross’ “invincible” Maybach Music Group probably came as a surprise to plenty of people — because it definitely came as a surprise to the Ohio MC himself. Arguably lesser-known than Wale, Meek Mill and Pill were before they joined the team, Stalley nevertheless caught the Bawse’s attention. When MTV News caught up with the rapper earlier this week, he said New Orleans spitter Curren$y actually linked them up. “Curren$y had called me, and he told me that Ross was looking for me and that he wanted to reach out,” Stalley recalled. “Curren$y asked if it was OK if he gave Ross my number, and I was like, ‘Yeah, of course.’ ” Stalley said Ross flew him down to Dallas during the first leg of Lil Wayne’s I Am Still Music Tour and asked if he wanted to be a part of the team. Stalley said he jumped at the opportunity because he felt the team was very family-oriented and that he would retain total control of what he was already doing. It’s a few months later, and Stalley has MTV’s Jam of the Week for the remix of his “Lincoln Way Nights (Shop)” featuring Ross. The video, which was directed by Spiff TV, features the two rappers riding around, eating lavishly. Stalley is set to re-release his mixtape, Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music) on November 1, completely re-mastered by Young Guru and Tony Dorsey. “It sounds like a whole different project,” he said.” I’m just very excited, and I’m very happy to re-release it for those who might have not got to hear it.” Related Artists Stalley

J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League’s Rook tells Mixtape Daily, ‘We’re gonna have a big presence on that album.’ By Rob Markman J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and Laws Photo: MTV News Behind the Beats: J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League With each album, Rick Ross has grown — and not just physically. While his 2006 debut, Port of Miami, was filled with repetitive trap-rap anthems like “Hustlin’,” “White House” and “Where My Money,” the Bawse has expanded sonically with each release. Credit the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League with part of Ross’ musical elevation. Crafting four tracks on Rozay’s sophomore Trilla, including the Jay-Z-featuring “Maybach Music,” JL have gone on to land tracks on each of the Bawse’s following albums. Expect no different from the upcoming God Forgives, I Don’t. “We just talked to the homey, and we’re gonna have a big presence on that album,” the League’s Rook told Mixtape Daily while walking the black carpet at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards. With “Maybach Music,” the Grammy Award-winning production trio — consisting of Rook, Colione and Kenny Barto — gave Ross a well-orchestrated instrumental, complete with strings and operatic background vocals. It’s a formula they followed on the song’s 2009 sequel, “Maybach Music Part 2,” with Ross, T-Pain, Lil Wayne and Kanye West, as well on “Maybach Music Part 3” from Rozay’s Teflon Don LP. With Ross tracks like “Aston Martin Music,” “Rich Off Cocaine” and “Magnificent” already under their belt, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League have proven to be more musical than many of their rap contemporaries. For God Forgives, I Don’t, the Tampa, Florida, beatmakers look to help elevate Ross’ sound once again. “It’s funny because you think that [Ross] might’ve reached his peak,” Rook said. “People think that they might’ve figured his sound out, but when they hear the new album, they’re gonna be chasing that new sound.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

The Bawse says Diddy, Bun B turn up in clip for Albert Anastasia EP track; hints Spike Lee may direct ‘Live Fast, Die Young.’ By Shaheem Reid Rick Ross Photo: MTV News Rick Ross has been busy building visuals. At the top of this week, the Bawse and director Parris completed production in New York City on his video for street banger “Blowin’ Money Fast (B.M.F.)” with the likes of the Lox, Bun B and Diddy showing up to set. Ross plans to shoot two more clips soon: one for “MC Hammer,” and the other for “Live Fast, Die Young,” off the upcoming Teflon Don. “Shout out to Spiff TV,” Ross said this past Saturday at Atlanta’s Philips Arena. He’d just come offstage, after performing at Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash 15 concert . “Spiff [is directing] ‘MC Hammer’. We haven’t shot it yet, but shout out to MC Hammer. We talked a couple of times. We just putting everything together,” Ross said. “I think it’s gonna be real cool to make sure he’s in it. I think it’s mandatory that Hammer bless the screen man. Look out for Parris — we shot the first half of ‘B.M.F.’ in Carol City [and] Little Haiti,” the Miami MC said of the Florida backdrops. “Everybody, they just gonna come [show] respect for the streets, the movement is feeling good.” As for the video for the Kanye West-produced “Live Fast, Die Young,” Ross is thinking bigger budgets and an A-list director. He recently took to his Twitter and posted a photograph of himself and Spike Lee, hinting that he and one of Brooklyn’s finest may be teaming up soon. “What I actually tweeted — and you should actually follow me @rickyrozay — when I was in Hawaii, me and Kanye did a different kind of record and it may take a different kind of director. It was me, up in the middle of the night reflecting. It was an actual picture [from when] Spike came out to my birthday. I had a private get-together in Miami. Spike came out, we discussed a few things. It’s one of those things [that] I call speaking it into existence. I feel once I put something in my mind, I can accomplish it. Shout out to the big homie F. Gary Gray. I can’t commend him enough. We pulled that off with ‘Super High’,” Ross said of landing the Hollywood director for the visual. “Whoever would have thought? It’s something that’s most definitely possible.” While the bearded MC is looking forward to the “Live Fast” video, with whoever may sign on to direct, he said it was important to keep his priorities straight. “First and foremost, we gotta release the record,” he smiled, referring to “Live Fast, Die Young.” “It’s real close. I’mma tell you that. Thanks to everybody for the support on ‘Super High.’ We about to crack top 10 on that. I told myself, once I crack top 10 with the first record, I was gonna come with that next big one. It’s feeling like in the next week or two, we could be coming with it. It’s something I’m most definitely anticipating, all the pieces to the project fell into place. July 20, Teflon Don in stores.” After seeing Ross’ Hollywood-style “Super High” video, are you eagerly anticipating more clips? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Rick Ross (Hip-Hop)
