Hasani Walters, STAR Writer

International superstar Rick Ross is expected to be in Jamaica for a concert on June 22.

The Imma Boss American rapper, alongside artistes like Wale, Meek Mill, Stalley and Magazeen from his Maybach Music Group (MMG) labels, is to perform at the Best of Summer concert to be held at a venue in Kingston.

The event is being organised by Kubanz Entertainment, the group responsible for parties such as Summer In Paradise, Midnight Eclipse and Heatwave.

Chavaughn Oneil the group's chief operation officer spoke with THE WEEKENDSTAR saying, "The event is titled 'Best of Summer' to showcase the best of summer, and the MMG family really emulates the name of the event. So who better to have than them?"

It's gonna be a big show

He continued, "It's gonna be a big show. We're gonna pull out all the stops. We'll have the top-four local artistes to add the finishing touches to the line-up."

He said that last week he received a copy of the contract for the group's performance at the event and he promises a wonderful experience for those who will attend.

Oneil hopes to get the group in Jamaica before the show for an official pre-party which is also being organised.

In coming weeks, he will step up the promotion of the concert with videos and voice recordings from the MMG camp.

Efforts to contact a representative from the MMG camp were, however, unsuccessful.

Rick Ross founded the record label Maybach Music Group on which he has released studio albums such as Deeper Than Rap and Teflon Don. He is known for several popular hip-hop/rap songs such as B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast), Hustlin' and Speedin'.
