Rick Ross’s ‘Champagne Moments’ To Pop Off With 12 African Stars & Brett Berish

MIAMI, FL — Hip hop heavyweight Rick Ross is gearing up to drop “Champagne Moments,” a fire album that brings together African artists from 12 different countries. This fresh project aims to mix Ross's slick American hip hop vibes with the rich, vibrant beats of African music.

In a revealing chat on a podcast arranged by Dilemaradio, Brett Berish, the big boss at Sovereign Brands, laid down the vision. “We have been doing this for years where we enjoy supporting artists so we have a video team. We will shoot videos for people, we will put artists together, and we will uh, uh produce songs for people. We don't want to own the artist.”

Brett Berish spoke about Rick Ross's album supporting African artists and blending American hip hop with African music.

“I don't want to get involved with the artist; I want to help the artist. Then we started moving our business into Africa, and we've got a tremendous business in Africa. I'm a huge fan of Afrobeats, huge fans of Amapiano, and huge fans of music coming from there. Now, we get to talk to all these artists. Now, what we're doing is, we're actually going to be producing our own album. It's an African album that's going to have 10, 12, 14, 20+ artists on it from, uh, 12 different countries. Ross is on every song, um, some of the biggest names in Africa. To me, I want to shine a light on Africa and try to get, let's just use simply American artists to do more in Africa because if they do that, everyone in Africa is going to love them for life,” Berish continued.
