Biography
Rick Ross (born William Roberts) was born in Carol City, a very poor town in Florida. As a teenager, he could not but get addicted to the hip-hop culture. The songs by its most prominent figures, such as Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac Shakur, could be heard all over the States and sure did reach the ears of the future rapper. In the early nineties, Roberts assembled the rap outfit Carol City Cartel. As they started, the band intended to cooperate with the small label Suave House Records, yet they were soon noticed by the major recording house Slip N Side Records. After signing up a contract with this company, William was proposed to take up the Rick Ross stage name, which he did. Within a short period of time, the rapper got acquainted with the more mature and respected colleagues, including Trick Daddy and Trina. In the years to follow, he was a regular guest on their records, while his joint concerts with these artists helped him get well-known in the wide hip-hop circles and find big people in his industry.
