Before Maybach Music became as big of a deal as it currently is today, Audra the Rapper was associated with Rick Ross. During the summer of 2009, Audra met Ross at a radio station. While at the station, Ross gave Audra his Twitter information and the two had some communication.

However, a few months passed before Audra the Rapper even heard from Rick Ross again. During the time away, Audra had put together her mixtape, The Miseducation of Audra. On the mixtape, she released her own version of Ross' hit, "B.M.F." Upon hearing the remix, Rick Ross called her and showed his support.

In the time since then, Rick Ross has signed several artists to his still-growing Maybach Music label. Ross has also inked a long-term distrubution deal with Warner Bros. Records. Audra the Rapper reflected on her partnership with Maybach Music and she feels she happened to be at the right place at the right time, nothing more, nothing less.

Three of the biggest crews in hip hop during the late 1990s were from the Big Apple. Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records, Fat Joe's Terror Squad, and Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Squad. Busta maintained good relationships with both crews. But, there was never much love between Roc-A-Fella and Terror Squad.

For years, there have been rumors of Jay-Z and Big Pun getting into an altercation at a New York club. Rumors suggest Pun ended up hitting Jay-Z over the head with a bottle. While he has never spoken on it directly, rumors also say Jay-Z has subliminally dissed Fat Joe and Terror Squad several times.

In 2008, Jay-Z and Fat Joe officially ended their "beef" with the help of Swizz Beatz. Older and wiser, Busta Rhymes is providing insight to what happeend that night. Busta said he visited Roxy and when he got there, his "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" was playing repeatedly. It surprised Busta on how much love it received, but this surprise ended when a fight nearly broke out between the Roc and TS.

The fight was ended when Kid Kapri decided to play Busta Rhymes' hit yet another time.

Despite taking several hits throughout his career, Rick Ross is still one of the most-popular rappers in the game. He has portrayed the role of a "boss" for several years. In 2008, he released his hit single, "The Boss." Following the release of that song, it was revealed Ross had prior employment as a correctional officer.

Even with the label of a cop, Rick Ross went on to become one of rap's most dominating figures. Less than a year later, Ross went head-to-head with 50 Cent and won. This came after 50 Cent took a picture with Ross' son and dated his baby's mother. In the end, Ross befriended 50's best friend, Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
