Rick Ross' Black Dollar mixtape was a welcome return to the pop-minded elegance of Deeper Than Rap, a decided u-turn from much of the more energetic street rap Rozay had gravitated towards following "B.M.F." From the sounds of the singles, Ross' next studio album Black Market seemed like it may follow suit, and with the announcement of the tracklist today, the hunch has been all but confirmed.
Features include John Legend, The-Dream and Nas, all of which appeared on DTR, as well as more R&B-centered appearances from Mariah Carey, Cee-Lo Green, and Mary J. Blige.
Those looking for more straight-ahead rap will be happy to see Future and DJ Premier's names on the bill (though, for all we know, this could be Fewtch's moment to get back into crooner mode).
Check out the full tracklist below. What do you think?
