"'The Boss'" is the second single from Rick Ross's second studio album 'Trilla'. It samples the song "Paul Revere" by Beastie Boys. It is produced by J. R. Rotem. Matt Kemp from the Los Angeles Dodgers and Brian McCann from the Houston Astros use this song as their at-bat / intro music. The song is also Ross's highest charting single to date, peaking at number 17 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100.
Music video
The video was directed by Diane Martel, and shows a shirtless Rick Ross in bed with two girls. He is then seen yelling at someone who owes him money on the phone and tells him to meet him at midnight. At midnight, the man who owes him money shows up and tells him that he does not have it. Rick Ross calls a girl (portrayed by Felicia "Snoop" Pearson) who steals his necklace and Rick Ross steals his girlfriend. Fat Joe, along with DJ Khaled and Anwan Glover from HBO's television series 'The Wire', make appearances in the video. The music video premiered on 'Rap City' on February 19, 2008.
