Rick Ross plans to drop “Before I Self Destruct” before his rival and G-Unit boss, 50 Cent does.

The Florida rapper says he just finished the production on the new mixtape that has the same title as 50’s upcoming album. Ross isn’t holding him back and no one is trying to stop him, despite the rumors that exec’s at Def Jam had been telling Ross to stop talking about 50 Cent.

Island Def Jam Chairman L.A. Reid told MTV News there is no truth to it saying “I never had that kind of conversation with anybody. I don’t even know what that is.” Everyone seems to be playing both sides.
