Happy 37th birthday to Rick Ross!

Born in 1976, Rozay's debut album, Port of Miami, was released in 2006. It took the top spot on the Billboard 200, selling 187,000 records in its' first week. The album eventually went gold.

Not the one to rest on his laurels, Ross came out with three more albums in quick succession, including Trilla, Deeper Than Rap and Teflon Don.

Not only did his fifth album, God Forgives, I Don't, dominate in 2012 (it debuted No. 1 on Billboard 200 and sold 218,000 copies in the first week), but the MMG head was named 2012's Bawse of the Year from GQ magazine.
