Last year, Rick Ross finally earned respect as one of the most popular rappers in the game. In 2009, Ross flexed his muscle in the game and most people laughed him off. When he finally gained the respect, Ross had moved on to trying to be an executive in the game.

Not many people took Rick Ross seriously when he tried to sign current sensation, Wiz Khalifa, to Maybach Music. When Ross said he may sign Wale, all he did was fuel even more doubters and more laughter. All of this laughter stopped when Rick Ross actually signed Wale.

Barely a week later, Rick Ross added Meek Mill to the roster, which was followed by a bevvy of rappers. This is in addition to the artists he already had on the Maybach Music roster. A small bidding war took place over Rick Ross between Warner Bros., Def Jam, Cash Money, Roc Nation, and Bad Boy Records. However, in the end, Rick Ross decided to work with Warner Bros. Records.

Rick Ross added several rappers to the Maybach Music Group, but he surprised people when he added a vocalist. Teedra Moses became the first female signed to Maybach Music and the first singer. Recently, she discussed being a part of the movement. Moses said she was surprised when he signed her with all of the rappers being added to the label. Now, a part of Maybach Music, Teedra Moses understands the way things work and she sees how Rick Ross is adding all types of talent to have a well-rounded rapper.

Gone are the days when all of the artists on a label make the same type of music. More than a rap group, the boss of Miami is trying to build a solid record label.
