The LP, which was scheduled to hit shelves on December 18th, is being pushed to a February 19th release date due to some sample clearance issues.
"We had a few clearance issues, including one song produced by DJ Toomp," Ross told Billboard.com in a recent interview.
"It's called 'This Me' and it's a real personal record for me, so I wanted to make sure it got on the album. Toomp produced 'White House' on my first record and we made magic." He continued.
So what has Ross been keeping himself busy with while waiting for the clearance to go through?--acting.
In other news…
The Dade County rapper recently wrapped a supporting role in the film "Days of Wrath," opposite Laurence Fishburne and Taye Diggs.
"[the film] is based on a family, growing up in gang-infested East L.A. in the heart of a black and Mexican gang war. I played one of the street dudes." He tells Billbord.
The film is scheduled for release next year as well.

Stop believing everything you hear. Haters mad at Jay for wat cuz he loves the game. Did Jordan get hated on for coming back out being the VP of the Wizards and catchin a NBA salary?
I didn't think so
jay z should be ashame co sign these weak ass rapper all these mutherfuckas talk about is flippin birds and stackin keys. they are the one's killing hip hop with with these made up rhyme about sale'n dope, but i guest that shit's cool to you dumb ass people today sale'n drug, and shit like that. all these young jeezy, buck, joc, dro, t.i and the king of dumb fucks baby step your game up please!
stop hating on Jay.. he puts out rappers that are good... you dont hear kayne, jeezy, fab, nas, ross complaining... cause hov knows there good enough to sell so he puts them out.. why put out budden and freeway and whack ass guys like beanie when u can market and promote as much as u want and they still going to flop... hell no they aint a priority to them if u aint goign to be moving... hed rather put out rhianna and mary j who will make him some dough... if they were good enough rappers they would be dropping albums whenever they wanted... sure he might use a little more than his share of the marketing money on himself but thats not the reason these other cats arent dropping or doing well... step your game up and stop hating on jay.. cause last i checked, the roc was still hotter than any label out there and has the most artists doing big things... i named 7 artists not including J that are doign big things... name another label with the same success?
Man I thought Rick Ross was auditioning for a role as a Black Version of Grizzly Adams.
grizzly adams did have a beard...
he not gonna flop as much some songz as vidz are kinda good.
The Roc Boys are good don't listen to Joe Buddens. He Garbage, how is he complaining about Jay marketing. Joey album was supposed to be ready before Jays American Gangster and Jays Kingdome Come. What was the excuse that it didn't drop jay was not even thinking about dropping albums. I THINK WHEN A NIGGA AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH THEY START TO BLAME OTHER PEOPLE!
I like ross but this is lies, thats some last min. shit.
ummmmmmmm YAWN! (when the nas album comin out again?) naw but i rock wit ross lol
I'm tired of hearin' Rick Ross rap and talk about sellin' coke, crack, yayo, white, whatever. He said it so much he had me feelin' like he was already actin'
That being said, I'll listen to Ross's new tape if he talks about something different
Did my comment sonnin' somebody just get erased?
nigga rick ross look like a homeless freeway.
that nigga look like a Gorilla str8 ^
I willing to bet that every nigga on here that trashed Ross is from up north. The man nuts that ya'll swinging from (Jay-Z) got this man on Def Jam.....so what does that say bought Jay? Ross spit some real shit, if u born and raised around dope dealing, that's going be all u know. Do your homework bout Carol City, them niggas down there don't play...hell catch an episode of the First 48. Them niggas down there droppin nigga's like it aint shit, and 9 times out of 10, its all centered around dope. I mean c'mon now, if u don't like Ross, dont buy he album. Shit Jay-Z rapping bout dope in "Blue Magic", and let the truth be told, that nigga wasn't never into selling dope like that. So who really acting?
you base your claims on a tv show nigga? why does that not suprise me? how about my city being the murder capitol 7 out of the last 10 years in a row? How about detroit being from up north dont have shit to do with rick ross being the millionth nigga to rap about dope? do YOUR homework nigga. the first 48! ha! you fuckin ignorant bastard. is your picture a man in drag?
My bad playboy.....u win...but just so u know, I never said that Carol City was the murder capital, but if it makes u feel better, Detroit is the murder capital of the world...Now u can take that, "What u talkin bout Willis", look of ur face. I'm just saying aint to many niggas rappin right now coming out of Detroit, other than Em. O yeah, I forget some lame ass niggas named D12. Hell if it wasn't for Em, them niggas would still be freestyling on 8 Mile. Also, "getjip313", ignorant is something I'm not, I'm a college grad, bringing home more than ur mom & dad!! What u on today, fries or drive-thru?....Lastly playboy, my profile pic is of pimp Kenny Red, that's a picture of him from the American Pimp documentry, now u do ur homework....
Ross won't be folding anytime soon. And you can't hate Jay for finding talent. Plus todays rap, just like a horror flick, ain't much truth in them. But they still enjoyable.
