Isa Muhammad was homeless when he walked up to Rick Ross at Venice Beach and started spitting.

The clip went viral, because Muhammad's got skills, and Ross reacted by signing him to MMG.

Fast forward six months and Muhammad has dropped his first mixtape, Diabolical Bastard Billionaire Genius.

The 25 track tape features Curren$y, Rick Ross and more.

It also has the kind of slick production you'd expect for any type of Ross-associated project.

What do you think? Is Muhammad a gimmick, or is he here to stay?
