Rick Ross releases deluxe album cover for 'Mastermind,' features art by Mr. Brainwash

Mastermind is almost here!

Back in December, Mstars reported that Rick Ross had delayed the album. In an interview with DJ Scream's Hoodrich Radio show on Hip-Hop Nation, Ross spoke on the album delay saying, "I'm still putting the final touches on the album. You know me, making that classic is more important than anything. Making sure the streets are overwhelmed with what I am doing is what is most important. I'm gonna try to get it to you, and if I don't, I'll get it to you ASAP."

 And it looks like he kept his word, with the recent release of album artwork and the announcement of a new single with Young Jeezy, let the countdown begin.

Rozay definitely has some big things in store for this forthcoming project. The MMG boss teamed up with renowned artist Mr. Brainwash for the deluxe cover of Mastermind.

The Mr. Brainwash image shows Ross holding a gun to his head while a rainbow of colors blows from the opposite side. It appears that a less graphic version will be used for the actual album cover.

Ross shocked the hip-hop world when he announced he would be releasing a single, "#WarReady," with his once arch enemy Jeezy. If that's any indication of what to expect from Rozay, we're all ears. The single is slated to be released Feb. 11.

 Mastermind is in stores on March 4th.

What do you think of Rick Ross' album cover? Are you excited to hear him and Jeezy collaborate?
