Added on March 11, 2026 inFree Entertainment News

It’s hard to believe, but nearly two decades have flown by since Rick Ross unleashed his debut studio album, Port Of Miami, into the world — a project that truly set the tone for the colossal career that followed. To commemorate this landmark, Ross is pulling out all the stops with a glitzy “Black-Tie Experience Orchestra Tour” alongside the Renaissance Orchestra and the Sainted Trap Choir. I mean, can you imagine the grandeur of hip-hop meeting classical vibes? The stars must be aligning on this one! Why else would a full-scale orchestra make its way to a tour celebrating a hip-hop juggernaut? As Mercury retrograde slips away, it’s the perfect moment to embrace creativity and celebrate the past while looking towards a pumped-up future. Rolling out from May 29 in Miami and hitting major cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, this tour promises to be a history-making spectacle… or at least a reason to don our fanciest outfits and sip champagne while feeling all classy-like! Keep those calendars marked—August 29 in Charlotte will be an event you won’t want to miss!

It’s been nearly 20 years since Rick Ross dropped his debut studio album, Port Of Miami. To celebrate, he recently announced a special “Black-Tie Experience Orchestra Tour” with the Renaissance Orchestra and the Sainted Trap Choir.

According to Billboard, the tour is scheduled to kick off on May 29 at the James L. Knight Center. It’ll feature stops in cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, and more. The tour is scheduled to wrap up in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 29.

Port of Miami was the foundation of an empire, the blueprint to the biggest boss,” Rick Ross says of the tour. “Twenty years later, we aren’t just celebrating an album; we are elevating the culture. Bringing this music to the stage with a full orchestra and choir in a black-tie setting is about cementing the legacy. It’s luxury, it’s historic, and it’s a milestone we are going to celebrate at the absolute highest level.”

Gunplay & Rick Ross Beef

Ross may be looking back on the past fondly these days, but unfortunately, the same can’t be said for all of his peers. During a recent interview with M3S3 TV, for example, Gunplay admitted that he feels like he was given the short end of the stick when Maybach Music Group was at its peak. For this reason, he says he and Ross no longer have much of a relationship.

“Everybody was a group effort,” he explained. “When it was Gunplay’s turn, it was crickets. […] I got hit records. Nobody’s giving me a budget. Nobody’s doing nothing. So what you want me to f**king do?”

“If you f**k with Ross, you f**k with Gunplay. That’s how it was,” he added. “But when it came time for me to get the push, it just felt like a slap in the face.”
