Renaissance of a Boss: Notes from a Creative Reawakening

From iconic rapper, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author Rick Ross, a grand, inspiring road trip adventure and empowering creative journey. n nIt's been nearly twenty years since Rick Ross broke out with his 2005 debut single Hustlin'. Over the last two decades, the biggest boss has cemented a legacy in hip-hop as an all-time great and found success in dozens of endeavors beyond music. He's obtained every object of his desire. Mansions. Cars. Yachts. Private jets. But as Ross approaches 50 years of age and the 20-year anniversary of Hustlin, he finds himself in unfamiliar territory: his first creative rut. Or maybe it's a mid-life crisis? n nThe Renaissance of a Boss is the story of Rick Ross rediscovering his creative spark. After several false starts - including a failed attempt at climbing Mount Kilimanjaro - Ross hits the open road in search of answers to life's big questions. The epic journey takes Ross to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo and ultimately a Native American sweat lodge ceremony in Santa Fe. Along the way, Ross reflects on his creative process, the artists who have inspired him, and shares his own rituals and habits that made him into one of the most prolific creative minds in music today. n
