Today, Rick Ross released his latest Drake collaboration, “Gold Roses.” Nearly six weeks after “Money In The Grave,” part of Drake’s post-Toronto Raptors-championship two-pack, he assists Rozay. HipHop-N-More confirms that this marks the first single from Ross’ Port Of Miami 2: Born To Kill campaign, likely due on the August 8 anniversary of the ’06 original. However, it features some cold bars about basketball, that has Drake sounding like the onset of his meteoric rise.

Drake Accuses Pusha-T Of Snitching In A New Song Celebrating The Raptors

Drizzy fills his feature performance with the kind of bars that have made him a superstar in tweets and captions. “Mentally I’m already on next year, that’s some 20/20 clear vision / You sayin’ let you finish, I ain’t try’na hear it / I’m all for spiritual liftin’, but I don’t fly Spirit / I’m all for findin’ happiness, but down to die serious / All smiles, Kevin Durant trials / Had to blow it on the court, I must have blew a milli’ / I’m walkin’ on all charges, that’s my new Achilles / I know they love to rock a check, but who gon’ do it really? Really?” In a stanza of lyrics, Drake seemingly takes a subliminal jab at Kanye West, using his Taylor Swift-mic-grab language. He also uses Kevin Durant’s cringe-worthy injury to look at overcoming major setbacks and legal offensives from the past. Drake consoled K.D. following the Game 5 championship injury. The two have been friends through overlapping careers. The musician comparing his woes to a potentially career-ending injury is certain to raise a few eyebrows, especially following a tense NBA finals, with Drake court-side for the Raptors home-games, often jawing with many of the Golden State Warriors.

Drake finishes out promising a new pinnacle and putting on for his city, respectively. “Ten years in and y’all yet to hear my most impressive verses / Paid the cost to be the boss wasn’t even my most expensive purchase / Trust when I say I’m never on the sh*t they assumin’ I’m on / Tales about me are like corridos in Culiacán,” and “Hop on a float to show the city the one they appointed / The one that’s rebuildin’ schools and feedin’ the homeless / Hang with my ni**as, but sometimes I be try’na avoid it.” Meanwhile, Ross opens with a commanding set of bars. “I was nominated, never won a Grammy / But I understand, they’ll never understand me / Lot of lives lost, but I never panicked / Lot of lines crossed, I never did a Xanny,” he thumps. Over the next two verses, Ross details spoiling women who catch his eye.

Last month, R.R. stepped out with the Just Blaze-produced “Big Time,” which is also on the official AFH playlist.
