About this listen
“A gripping journey.” (People)
The highly anticipated memoir from hip-hop icon Rick Ross chronicles his coming of age amid Miami’s crack epidemic, his star-studded controversies and his unstoppable rise to fame.
Rick Ross is an indomitable presence in the music industry, but few people know his full story. Now, for the first time, Ross offers a vivid, dramatic, and unexpectedly candid account of his early childhood, his tumultuous adolescence and his dramatic ascendancy in the world of hip-hop.
Born William Leonard Roberts II, Ross grew up “across the bridge,” in a Miami at odds with the glitzy beaches, nightclubs, and yachts of South Beach. In the aftermath of the 1980 race riots and the Mariel boatlift, Ross came of age at the height of the city’s crack epidemic, when home invasions and execution-style killings were commonplace. Still, in the midst of the chaos and danger that surrounded him, Ross flourished, first as a standout high school football player and then as a dope boy in Carol City’s notorious Matchbox housing projects. All the while he honed his musical talent, overcoming setback after setback until a song called “Hustlin’” changed his life forever.
From the making of “Hustlin’” to his first major label deal with Def Jam, to the controversy surrounding his past as a correctional officer and the numerous health scares, arrests, and feuds he had to transcend along the way, Hurricanes is a revealing portrait of one of the biggest stars in the rap game, and an intimate look at the birth of an artist.

This has to be one of my all time Favorite reads!
This book was hands down, THE BEST. I was not expecting anything less than 100% from Rick Ross The Boss. This memoir was nothing short of perfect. I have read it cover to cover 2 times and I can see why it hit NY Best Seller. It surpassed my expectations consistently on every page. I was finding myself listening over and over, rewinding and listening again. So many rap secrets were reviled in this book including, the truth behind the whole Prison Guard incident with Ricky Rose`. Fantastic story that will surly go down in history.
The performance was second to none. I loved the narrators voice in this series. It was so expressive and had me gripping my seat on all pages! WOW
Well done mate.
