If you don’t know by now, today (July 31) is the release of Rick Ross‘ new album ‘God Forgives, I Don’t.’ To celebrate, the Miami rapper dropped a video for ’3 Kings,’ his a celebratory track of health and wealth featuring Dr. Dre and Jay-Z.

The directorial team of Dre Films helmed what’s being called a “MMG Visual Piece” for ’3 Kings,’ which chronicles the glorious rise of Rozay, Dre and Hova in the rap game. The clip intercuts various footage of the trifecta’s career milestones.

With Dr. Dre, we see him riding out in Chevys, collecting his Source awards, mentoring his proteges Snoop Doggand Tupac Shakur as well as touting his business savvy with Beats by Dre headphones. “I built this house, n—a get your own s— / I only love it when her hair long / You should listen to this beat through my headphones,” he raps.

In Rozay’s video collage, visuals of Pablo Escobar, cocaine and cash are shown to represent the street life that also consumes the tropical city of Miami. But we also see images of the Bawse riding in the Maybach and on motorcycles with his Maybach Music Group superstar Meek Mill.

THE BIGGEST BOSS, RICK ROSS DISCUSSES MAYBACH MUSIC GROUP AND HEALTH

To celebrate the release of his latest album, God Forgives, I Don't, Rick Ross stopped into BET's "106 & Park."

"I think the first thing I should do is thank the fans and supporters," said the Bawse to a raucous crowd. "It's a big day for me. I want to say thank you."

Ross also briefly spoke on his Maybach Music Group roster. "MMG, man. Just watching the whole MMG brand go to the next level, and we gotta welcome Rockie Fresh to the team. Shout out to Omarion. It's just exciting. Gunplay, murda!"

A recent video of Ross playing basketball raised questions about whether the Miami emcee's health has improved. Last year, Ross suffered two seizures, apparently due to lack of sleep. "Yeah, health-wise, I'm feeling a lot better. I'm gettin' a little sleep, you know what I'm saying? It's all love" He quipped.
