Y.O.L.O. (You Only Live Once) mixtape is ‘most definitely’ happening, Ross tells ‘RapFix Live.’ By Rob Markman Rick Ross Photo: MTV News It’s deeper than rap with Rick Ross and Drake . While the two have collaborated on a number of hit records like Rozay’s “Aston Martin Music” and DJ Khaled’s “I’m on One,” the two MCs share a bond that extends way beyond the studio. So when Drake announced that he and the Bawse would be collaborating on a new mixtape, Y.O.L.O. (You Only Live Once), it made sense in theory, but how real is the actual project? Very real, says Rozay. “You know, it’s official, the music is most definitely official,” Ross said when he appeared on “RapFix Live” on Wednesday. “But you know, me being a boss, I’m trying to find a way that we could put that on the shelves for the world, baby. But it’s most definitely official.” Retailing a collaboration project is tricky, especially considering that Drizzy and Rozay are signed to two different labels. Ross is currently inked up with Def Jam as a soloist, and Drake just released his sophomore album, Take Care, on Cash Money. Still, the Maybach Music CEO is hopeful. “You know, Drake, I consider him a part of the fam. It’s not just music,” he said. “We stay in the studio, we stay on Skype.” According to Ross, the two mostly talk about the music they’ve been recording, and so far their collaborations have been well received. On the day that Drake’s Take Care was leaked onto the Internet, “Lord Knows,” featuring Rozay , began trending on Twitter. Back in August, the Toronto MC had some high praise for his buddy. Drizzy was one of the few able to hear Ross’ God Forgives, I Don’t as a work in progress, and his early review was glowing. “This guy right here,” Drake said, motioning to Ross as the two sat at Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV release party , “that God Forgives, I Don’t ; the only way I can describe it is like Doggystyle or Ready to Die or Clipse Lord Willin’ or any of the albums that I collected and held on to as a kid — whether it was cassette or CD.” In a recent interview with XXL magazine, Drake spoke about the status of the upcoming mixtape, revealing that the two seizures that the Bawse suffered in October may slow the process up just a bit. “I’ve been working on that for the last couple of weeks. We haven’t really connected because he’s been going through this thing with his health. I’ve been stashing my little beats and verses,” he said. There is no telling when fans will get to hear Y.O.L.O. or how it will even be released, but when it drops it should be a special one. “It’s just love all the way around the board,” Ross remarked. “So Y.O.L.O. You Only Live Once, let’s go hard, let’s go get it.” Related Videos Rick Ross, Meek Mill, N.O.R.E. And More On ‘RapFix Live’ Related Artists Drake Rick Ross
‘The date is still tentative because of my health situation,’ Ross tells ‘RapFix Live.’ By Nadeska Alexis, with reporting from Sway Calloway Rick Ross Photo: MTV News Rick Ross appeared on Wednesday’s (November 16) “RapFix Live” to give fans an update on his health and the status on his fifth solo album, God Forgives, I Don’t, after suffering two seizures in October. With Maybach Music rapper Meek Mill at his side, Ricky Rozay confirmed that the December 13 release date for his album is subject to change because of the lull in his workflow. “The date is still tentative, December 13. [Because of] my little health situation, I had to postpone a lot of my groundwork,” Ross said. “And I feel like that’s important for artists like myself. “If I wanted to, I’m pretty sure I could still meet that date, but I think for the people, it’s more important [to lay groundwork] for when I get out there and look them in the face and touch them hands,” Ross said, explaining the likelihood of a delay. “We’ve just gotta lay ground for it, and I’mma keep y’all updated.” During his rest and recovery period, Ross had time to link up with Jay-Z for a new track, which is set to appear on God Forgives, I Don’t. “Just expect the biggest collabo we’ve ever made together. It’s just gonna make the project mean that much more,” he said. “Any time me and the Big Homie get together, you know I’m coming with my A-game, ’cause I wanna make sure the homie is impressed with whatever I’m coming to the table with — and he was. He blessed me, so y’all get ready for it.” Until Rick Ross finally releases God Forgives, I Don’t, he continues to heavily promote Ambition, the sophomore album from his Maybach Music artist Wale.

‘I can honestly say that I am more obsessed with Justin Bieber than Drew is,’ InTENsity’s Emily Michalak tells MTV News backstage. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Justin Bieber Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Justin Bieber may not have visited the “X Factor” set this week, but that doesn’t mean the contestants didn’t contract a serious case of Bieber Fever. On Tuesday night, Bieber did make his way to “Dancing With the Stars,” which shares a lot with the reality singing competition, and a handful of the “X Factor” top 12 hoped to see the teen star. One of those obsessed few included Drew, who has been a Belieber since day one of the “X Factor.” “We love him so much,” Drew told MTV News backstage — a long way from her first audition, where she proclaimed her Bieber love. She wasn’t the only member of Team Simon going crazy for Bieber: Fellow fan Rachel Crow , who got some rave reviews on the show this week, was also hoping to get some face time with the singer, who has been making the promo rounds for his new holiday album, Under the Mistletoe. “We love Justin Bieber, but we didn’t get to meet him,” Rachel recalled. “People were trying so hard, like, ‘Why can’t we get Justin here?’ I got to take a picture in front of his car, though.” And it wasn’t just any car. “It was so cool!” Rachel gushed. “Isn’t it awesome? It’s bejeweled! I want to meet him so bad,” she added, before explaining just why they couldn’t make it happen. “They made up an excuse about how they were competing shows. [I was] so upset.” Drew and Rachel are definitely not alone on the “X Factor” set. One of the members of InTENsity has this message for the ladies: “I can honestly say that I am more obsessed with Justin Bieber than Drew is,” Emily Michalak said. “I can honestly say so. Just because they aired on TV that she’s obsessed doesn’t mean that I’m not.” You can catch MTV News’ Jim Cantiello on the “X Factor Pepsi Pre-Show,” streaming at 7 p.m. ET Wednesdays on TheXFactorUSA.com !

‘I had to redefine the hustle. I had to put it all into it,’ MC tells ‘RapFix Live.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Wale Photo: Natasha Chandel/ MTV News Ambition may only be Wale ‘s second album, but his latest release has him feeling like a new man. When he appeared on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live,” the D.C. rapper explained the difference between his new Maybach Music album, distributed by Warner Bros., and his 2009 Allido/Interscope Records debut, Attention Deficit . “My mental state, just being around my friends [for] this album and being happier,” Wale said of the chief differences. “I can call anybody at Warner Bros. whenever I want at any given time; from [the] president to A&R to the mailroom, I can call ’em.” Aside from the support that he gets from his parent label, Wale is also reenergized thanks to the love he gets from his MMG fam. “That’s a lot, that reassurance that your team really believes in you. I could talk to Gucci Pucci or Rozay or [Roc Nation’s] Rich [Kleinman], or everybody that I have in my life in business at any time.” With Attention Deficit, Wale established himself with radio records like “Pretty Girls” and the Lady Gaga-assisted “Chillin’,” but the album was a considerable commercial failure. For his second go-round, the MC has taken all that he learned and applied it to what he has consistently referred to as a classic body of work in Ambition . “I paid a certain amount of dues in the game, with radio and all that stuff, I understand a lot of that. I understand how to make that all work in a day. Hopefully the results will show,” he said. It’s more than having a developed business sense, however. Wale claims to now be working harder than ever. He no longer holds on to the spoils of the game and doesn’t even have a home to call his own anymore. “I sacrifice everything. I got rid of my crib; I don’t live anywhere right now. Right now, technically, I don’t live anywhere,” he said. “I had to redefine the hustle. I had to put it all into it.” Related Videos ‘RapFix Live’ With Wale Related Artists Wale
