    This album won't change anyone's opinion of Rick Ross, but fans will get everything they love about his music: some standout tracks, an abundance of charismatic luxury raps and a slew of incredible, lavish instrumentals for you to cruise around to.

    With features from Blxst, Yungeen Ace, Future, and Wale – amongst others – ‘Richer Than I Ever Been’ is shamelessly entertaining, the work of an artist who knows what his audience wants to hear.

    On Richer Than I’ve Ever Been, Ross proves that his highfalutin aspirations are a major part of his authenticity.

    If slightly unexciting, Richer Than I Ever Been is a testament to the lasting talent of the MMG commandant, even if he doesn’t break new ground.

    This is a perfectly adequate Ross LP differentiated by its mix of collaborators more than anything else.

    There’s nothing complex about what Rick Ross does. ... Ross consistently portrays the ‘old Rozay’, garnering successful results more times than not. Sometimes simplicity is key: if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

    Overall, aside from some promising lines and one, maybe two standout tracks, “Richer Than I Ever Been” is an album that predictably falls short. It simply features too many weak beats backing up bars that often do more to bore than they do to convey a sense of skill or originality.

    The latest Rick Ross album is his best yet.. The beats of the songs are very superb and there are no samples of existing songs in it. TheThe latest Rick Ross album is his best yet.. The beats of the songs are very superb and there are no samples of existing songs in it. The production quality of the track is top notch and of high value. As for the vocal color of the games, it's impressive with the various collaborations with other rap artists.

    Overall, this is Rick Ross's best album and one of the best of 2021. I highly recommend it to hardcore rap fans and fans of Mr. Ross in general.
