2017 album from the multi-platinum selling, Grammy-nominated hip-hop magnate. Rather You Than Me is the follow-up to Black Market, which was released in 2015. The album is part of an exclusive worldwide deal with Epic Records. "Rick and I have been close friends and musical collaborators for more than a decade," said LA Reid, who originally signed the larger-than-life rap icon to Def Jam Recordings in 2006. "It has been incredible to witness his growth as an artist as well as a successful business entrepreneur and master strategist. It's an honor to be back together and to kick off Rick's second decade as one of hip-hop's bona-fide kings."
