Rick Ross is currently enjoying being one of the top hip hop artists in the game right now, but we all had to start somewhere. We all now know that Rick Ross was once a corrections officer, however I believe being a corrections officer requires some type of education or at least obtaining a few credits, right? The Maybach Music Group CEO graduated from Carol City Senior High School and later attended historically black college Albany State University in Albany, Georgia on a football scholarship.

Fabolous says he has always wanted to perform on the Brooklyn Bridge; so that is exactly what he did! Fab’s very own VEVO Go show featured him performing “Ya’ll Don’t Hear Me Tho” off The S.O.U.L Tape with only a boom box and camera on freezing cold day. “I’ve never done this before. I’ve never walked over the bridge,” said Loso. “I definitely think it’s like part of hip-hop, even down to the boombox. I just wanted to do something that was different, even for me. Just showing the people that I’m from where you from. I grew up here, I know their environment, so you walk the same walks of life as they do.” Fabolous’ Security Pulls A Gun Out After Knocking a Guy Out[VIDEO] Kelly Rowland “Motivation” Remix Ft.
