Multi-hyphenate award-winning entertainer and entrepreneur Rick Ross will publish his third book, "RENAISSANCE OF A BOSS: Notes from a Creative Awakening," from Hanover Square Press on May 12, 2026.
From iconic rapper, entrepreneur, and two-time New York Times bestselling author Rick Ross, RENAISSANCE OF A BOSS is a grand, inspiring road trip adventure in which Ross sets out to investigate life’s big questions and shares his reflections on creativity.
It's been nearly twenty years since Rick Ross broke out with his 2005 debut single "Hustlin'". Over the last two decades, the biggest boss has cemented a legacy in hip-hop as an all-time great and found success in dozens of endeavors beyond music. He's obtained every object of his desire. Estates. Cars. Yachts. But as Ross approaches 50 years of age and the 20-year anniversary of "Hustlin", he finds himself in unfamiliar territory: his first creative rut. Or maybe it's a mid-life crisis?
THE RENAISSANCE OF A BOSS is the story of Rick Ross rediscovering his creative spark. After several false starts, including a failed attempt at climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Ross hits the open road in search of answers to life's big questions. The epic journey takes Ross to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, and ultimately a Native American sweat lodge ceremony in Santa Fe. Along the way, Ross reflects on his creative process, the artists who have inspired him, and shares his own rituals and habits that made him into one of the most prolific creative minds in music today.
"RENAISSANCE OF A BOSS" available for pre-order now, and will be hitting stores on May 12th.
