Rick Ross may be the king of Maybach Music, but now he's channeling the original king of rock in his new single "Elvis Presley Blvd." Today (Sept. 15), the "Thug Cry" rapper released his new single on the same say as he announced his new album Hood Billionaire.
Playing into typical Rick Ross fashion, "Elvis Presley Blvd." opens up with an intense, pounding beat, drilling intensity and danger into the ears of the listener. The thumping bass plays well into the energy of the song, which is then matched by Ross' strong and slightly abrasive raps, where he declares that he's rolling down, what else, Elvis Presley Blvd.
Playing into his own common theme of boasting about success and money, Ross is all about the excess in his new track, name checking Elvis' wife Priscilla Presley and telling all his haters and "crackers" that they're down there with the dogs.
"I'm riding down Elvis Presley Blvd. / Got your dog, food is soft / N***a in the heart / You can tell them crackers that they can go and get the dogs," Ross powerfully raps it he song's chorus, accompanied by the pervasive, strong rounds of the bass and blasts of horns.
