Rick Ross Announces Talent Search For New MMG Artist Via New Artist Platform
Along with Dina Marto’s Twelve Music Group, Rick Ross is launching a new platform for artists called Artists First and opening an MMG office in Atlanta at their studio.
“This is the new home for Maybach Music,” Marto said. “Their artists will be recording here. Executives will have offices here, so they can get work done while they’re in the city of Atlanta.”
The MMG and Marto partnership will also seek out a new MMG artist as a part of a label-promoted talent search.
“We’re launching a talent search for the next MMG artist,” Ross said. “We gon’ do it big. We gon’ go through this Artist First platform.”

I could write anything on here my actions would speak loud
Ready for my dream to come true
I am managing an aspiring artist who is looking to be signed, he goes by the name of Jap Raww. He writes all is own music this guy is a diamond in the rough he has written over 500 tracks. I feel he would be a great asset to MMG, either he can perform or write music for other artist. He doesn’t have much street buzz due to financial reasons. It’s amazing that with all he’s been through in his short life time, he has hit rock bottom & lost everything & his music is the only thing that keeps him moving. He’s very dedicated and serious about his music & needs a chance to bring some new lyrics to the game http://youtu.be/s-Hf6pgaIe0
hope to hear from you
