Don’t expect Rick Ross to switch his hustle just because Mercedes-Benz discontinued its luxury Maybach vehicles. Rozay, who named his Maybach Music Group after the expensive line of cars, will continue to pump out music through his MMG record label.
“I think, just that level of luxury is just inspiration for people who started, like myself, who just looked and fantasized,” Ross told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway while on a Miami video set this past weekend. “I look at it as it makes the brand even more exclusive now. I think the cars are going to become even more expensive now, so everybody who has one, hold on to it for a little while.”
Ross started repping for the high-end Mercedes on his 2008 sophomore album Trilla when he collaborated with Jay-Z on “Maybach Music.” He has since gone on to take ownership of the Maybach brand, at least as far as hip-hop is concerned. In 2011, Ross took his Maybach Music Group imprint over to Warner Music Group and has since launched the career of Meek Mill and reintroduced Wale to the rap world with his sophomore album Ambition. The crew all wear MMG chains and shout out Maybach at every instance, making them quite the force in today’s rap scene.
When Diamler announced in November that they’d be discontinuing the Maybach model, which fetched anywhere from $350,000 to more than $1 million, many wondered how that would affect the Rozay’s MMG label. Fans need not worry, the Bawse will not be shifting gears. Maybach Music is here to stay, he says.
“When we say Maybach Music, it’s not about the car, it’s just about the level of quality and the time that we put into the sound and that was just a way to express it where people could really understand it,” he said. “We done got a lot of love, so shout out to everybody that support double M-G.”
If you’re in any way involved with hip-hop, then you’re sure to have heard the trademark “Maybach Music” female voice over at the beginning of every Rick Ross record and major MMG single (Ma-Ma-Ma-Maybach Music [sometimes it's drawn out longer]), and while we’ve never really wondered who it was behind that signature, an exceptionally hot Australian model named Jessica Gomes was busy watching her vocals become universally recognized without receiving a cent.
Here’s what she stated in a recent interview:
“Really! I need to be getting paid for these songs,” Gomes said. “[Am I getting paid?] No! [Should I?] Now I do. Because it’s hot and it’s out there. [Have I talked to Ross about the voiceover?] No. Not at all. I haven’t had a conversation with any of them about it.” (Global Grind)
Gomes, who was recently revealed as the Maybach Music Group voice, recorded the infamous notes back in ’08, and claims she recieved the opportunity through her chum, Jay-Z:
“Right, Jay-Z and Rick Ross. It was at the beginning of the ['Maybach Music'] track. It was another girl talking and then she says, ‘What is this?’ and I say ‘It’s Maybach music’ and then we both say ‘I like this Maybach music.’ And we both go ‘Sweet,’” she said. “We were just hanging out with friends in the studio and then it just happened. We got behind the mic, started talking and that was it, really. They decided to put it in their song and nothing came about. But now everyone’s using my part where I say “Maybach Music.”
