Rick Ross opens up about his relationship with JAY-Z, the possibility of a Drake collaboration album, and more.

With his upcoming album Richer Than I've Ever Been set to arrive later this year -- or so we think -- Rick Ross has been steadily active on the promotional circuit. Today, Renzel caught up with Complex and Hiking With Rappers host King Keraun for a quick and informative jaunt in the California wilderness.  

Rick Ross, one hundred pounds lighter mind you, braves the hike like a champ -- at least initially. During his time on the trail, Renzel speaks on a variety of topics, including his dynamic with JAY-Z and the long-discussed collaborative album with Drake

When asked about his relationship with JAY-Z, Ross explains how Hov went from an influence to a collaborator. "It's a great position to be in," reflects Ross. "Cause you still a fan. If you are authentically a fan of music, and the history that the homie created, you'll always respect. Then when I sit at the table and pick his brain on certain plays and moves, they're all beneficial. And here I am going on album number twelve, you can tell I got the Blueprint."

When asked if there's ever been an artist who truly clicks with him on a creative level, Ross points to Hov once again, as well as a few more heavy-hitting artists. "When I create with JAY-Z, our records have always been historic," says Ross. "Me and Kanye, what we created on Dark Twisted Fantasy, and of course what me and Drake doing. And there's still a possibility of me and Drake collaborating and doing an album together, because when we do collaborate it comes so naturally."
