Rick Ross has announced the latest signee to his Maybach Music Group label.
Isa Muhammad, a former homeless rapper from California, has signed with MMG after Ross was impressed with what Muhammad had to offer during an impromptu freestyle session. Footage of the freestyle has since amassed close to two million views online.
“This was something that I wasn’t expecting,” Rick Ross said of signing Muhammad in a press release. “This kid gave me his heart when he was spitting and the internet got a hold of the video I put up on my snapchat. I wanted to give an opportunity for someone else to be put on – I know so many people in his same position. MMG is about giving back and pushing the culture forward by finding new and real talent. Isa Muhammad will reflect quality rap music and MMG is going to make sure of that.”

Speaking on MMG’s newest recruit, label president Kendall “Young Sav” Freeman said: “Ross saw Isa Muhammad and he saw a vision. Isa was raw, authentic and organically talented.”
It’s reported that Isa Muhammad is already working on his yet-to-be-titled MMG debut.
