Rick Ross is gearing up to release his 10th studio album Rather You Than Me. Today he published an open letter to let fans know about it.

"Ten years in this game, and it has all lead to this moment right here," he wrote. "My entire life I was never given choices. I had to create this shit for myself. I had no choice but to boss up. To make it by any means necessary. To turn nothing into everything."

"This album is more than just another project for me," he wrote. "It's a product of strength, perseverance and determination. Rather You Than Me is a testimony, my testimony and if you a real n----, no matter where you from, you can relate to this."
