It seems as though Rick Ross never stops working. The Maybach Music Group head released his latest album, Mastermind, in March of this year and he's already prepping a new release. Today (Sept. 15), Ross announced he will be releasing a new album soon and that its lead single will be coming in the next few hours.

According to Ross' Twitter, his seventh studio album Hood Billionaire is on the way and its lead single will drop sometime today, just to finish 2014 off with a bang.

Alongside a Twitter photo of himself looking quite dapper (and slimmed down) in a printed jacket and black pants standing in front of a black, classy looking car, Ross announced his forthcoming first single.

"MONDAY #HOODBILLIONAIRE 1st SINGLE!" he wrote.

Ross has not announced further album details, including a lead single title, release date, cover or tracklisting, but that news will be forthcoming in the next few weeks (if not later today).

Ross' surprise new album announcement both should and should not shock fans. Ross is a notoriously prolific rapper, continuously releasing new albums, singles, music videos and remixes.

His last record, Mastermind, was released on March 3. It spawned the singles "The Devil Is A Lie" (feat. Jay Z), "War Ready" (feat. Jeezy) and "Thug Cry" (feat. Lil Wayne).
