Hood Billionaire is the seventh studio album by American hip hop recording artist Rick Ross.

[1] The album features guest appearances from Jay-Z, K. Michelle, French Montana, Project Pat, Yo Gotti, Boosie Badazz, Big K.R.I.T., Whole Slab, R. Kelly, and Snoop Dogg.

On September 15, 2014, he announced that his seventh studio album would be titled Hood Billionaire and set the release date for November 24, 2014.

[2] In an October 2014, interview with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, he spoke about why he wanted to release two albums in 2014, saying: "That’s how bosses do it, ya heard me?

[6] In an October 2014, interview with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, he spoke about "Keep Doin' That (Rich Bitch)" saying: "My musical accruement is higher than a lot of other people, man.

[8] On November 4, 2014, the album's fourth single "Nickel Rock" featuring Boosie Badazz was released.

[17] Killian Young of Consequence of Sound said, "Hood Billionaire is a half-baked testament to how difficult it is to make great records in rapid succession.

"[21] Andre Grant of HipHopDX stated, "Hood Billionaire is the second album of 2014 for Rick Ross.

Instead, Rozay is stepping out to the forefront with a project that is a diluted version of his initial 2014 offering Mastermind, which itself lacked the mythic grandiosity of his previous works.

said, "Some of the more intriguing moments on Hood Billionaire come when Ross steps out from the guise of the wealthy figurehead and waxes humble.

The sparse "Phone Tap" tells a tale of drug dealing paranoia, while the Big K.R.I.T.-assisted "Brimstone" is a remorseful hymnal.

These moments are still few and far between, and the rest of Ross' tales of pushing fall short of revealing whether his ascent to boss status is factual or purely fictional.

"[22] Meaghan Garvey of Billboard stated, "Ross seems to be in the victory-lap phase of his career: Hood Billionaire lands in a dull gray area between feel-good retro rap (its first two singles are the Memphis homage "Elvis Presley Blvd" and the pleasant but forgettable jazz jangle of "Keep Doin' That [Rich Bitch]") and Rozay greatest-hits karaoke that tries and fails to recapture the impact of his bulletproof Teflon Don bombast.

"[19] The album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 74,444 copies in the United States.
