Rick Ross Adds A Hip-Hop Twist to "Hold On We're Going Home"

posted in: Music News • Pop • Urban

Drake surprised fans and critics worldwide when he released “Hold On We’re Going Home” in the middle of August. The song was the second to surface off his new album Nothing Was The Same, but unlike its predecessor (“Started From The Bottom”) the track featured absolutely no rap. If anything, the song channeled 80s pop and added a twist of modern RnB to spice things up, showcasing a completely different side of the Canadian artist than many heard seen in some time. Fans were reluctant to accept the change at first, but the single has gone on to become a major success, and now one of hip-hop’s finest has delivered a killer remix to keep genre fans happy

There is no equal in hip-hop to Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross. He’s single-handedly built an empire on top of lies about his past, and in the process helped countless up and comers find careers in music. Now, in the midst of preparing to release his own new album, the king of MMG tackles Drake’s smooth-talking hit with his own take on “Hold On We’re Going Home.” The Florida-based rapper adds to new verses to the track, but thematically keeps things in line with the heartfelt-yet-dirty talk of the original. You can stream the remix below.

Drake’s Nothing Was The Same is available now wherever music is sold. Rick Ross’ new album, Mastermind, is expected to drop before the end of 2013. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on this new remix.
