Rick Ross the remix machine has unveiled the release date and artwork for his new album Black Market. The follow up to his summer mixtape Black Dollar will be released before the year is out on Dec. 4.

The artwork features the Black Bottle Boy looking suave in a black suit and black hat with a black background looking pensive, thinking about the trials and tribulations of the immigration crisis in Europe. He probably isn't thinking about that, but we can hope that Rozay might be thinking about these issues.

The deluxe edition offers a different pose and white background as Ross attempts to quiet the doubters and haters.

Over the last couple weeks, Ross has been putting out a slew of new remixes to warm up his lyrical muscles for the final go on the album and put himself back in the psyche of music fans who will want a new LP from Rozay.

He released a personal remix of Adele's record-breaking "Hello" in addition to hit records from Drake and Future "Jumpman" and Post Malone's "White Iverson."

The lead single "Sorry" with Chris Brown is already out and has amassed nearly three million views in a short period of time.

Speaking to Billboard recently, Ross described the inspiration for the album title.

"I believe I've always been so successful on the black market, for a lot of different reasons," he said. "And I just felt like that's the space we're in, that's the space the music is at right now. And who else better to engulf that other than The Bawse?"
