Rick Ross makes luxury rap of the highest order and he needs producers who can furnish his iconic voice with the perfect cushioning. It appears not many in the game can craft that elite sound because Port of Miami 2 sees Ross returning to work with many producers from his past. Of course, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League is behind "Maybach Music VI", which resembles a grand orchestral piece, only befitting of the series. The credits also boast beats from Just Blaze, Swizz Beatz, Beat Billionaire, STREETRUNNERS, and more.
The array of producers Renzel enlists allows him to alternate between his ruthless side on hard-hitting instrumentals and his lavish side on smoother ones.
Notably missing from the tracklist is Pusha-T on "Maybach Music VI", but luckily his verse leaked, so we get to hear some additional coke-related rhymes. No official word yet on why the verse was removed, but one can speculate...
