Rick Ross signs a former homeless rapper to MMG.
Rick Ross has officially added a new signee to his Maybach Music Group label. Today, the 40 year old MMG boss signed Isa Muhammad, a former homeless rapper from Inglewood, California. Muhammad will now join a roster of artists including Wale, Stalley, and Meek Mill.
Back in June, Muhammad impressed Rozay after he freestyled for him on Venice Beach. Footage of the freestyle went viral, and has raked in close to two million views. Upon meeting Ross, Muhammad was homeless and living on the streets – his situation has since changed. For months, rumors were swirling the Muhammad was signed to MMG, but today it was officially confirmed.
During a press release, Ross stated the following, “This was something that I wasn’t expecting. This kid gave me his heart when he was spitting and the internet got a hold of the video I put up on my snapchat. I wanted to give an opportunity for someone else to be put on – I know so many people in his same position. MMG is about giving back and pushing the culture forward by finding new and real talent. Isa Muhammad will reflect quality rap music and MMG is going to make sure of that.”
Muhammad has already released his first single under MMG, “Chemtrails & Muslim Wars”, and is currently working on a music video for the track.
