Rick Ross is all about making moments. The 48-year-old rapper closed 2024 on a high note alongside The Atlanta Pop Orchestra at Atlanta Symphony Hall .
Opus World Entertainment presented “Rick Ross: A Holiday Affair” on Sunday (Dec. 29) where the Miami rapper’s beloved music catalog was reimagined in a live orchestral setting. The Biggest Boss dressed up in an emerald green tuxedo and waltzed onto the stage while the orchestra brought “Everyday Hustle,” his March 2024 collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin , to life.
He also performed the Wale and Drake-assisted “Diced Pineapples,” “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” “Hustlin’,” “MC Hammer,” “Here I Am,” and more. In a historic moment, Cee-Lo Green joined Ross onstage to perform “Tears Of Joy” together for the first time since they released the track almost 15 years ago.
“Man, it’s always amazing to see us out here looking elegant and fashionable,” DJ Big X ATL told The Atlanta Voice . “What Ross has done over the years, from the trap days of ‘Hustlin’ to now collaborating with orchestras, shows incredible elevation. It’s inspiring for artists to see this and set their goals high. If I were an artist, I’d look at what Ross is doing and aim to build a catalog that could one day bring me to this stage.”
