This week Ronson is joined by rapper, author, and business mogul Rick Ross. Together they revisit the Miami rapper's 2006 FADER cover, written just as his breakout hit "Hustlin'" was blowing up. Ross looks back to a time before "Hustlin'," including a time when a car crash made him re-evaluate life and almost quit rap altogether. They also touch on his stratospheric rise in the hip-hop game, collaborating with Kanye West in Hawaii, his new book The Perfect Day to Boss Up, and what it's like to perform at a bar mitzvah.
