Exclusive video: Watch Rick Ross talk about the transformation of Miami Gardens
Rick Ross feels a new sense of pride about his beloved Miami Gardens. Although his hometown looks a lot different than when he was growing up, Ross is willing to embrace the change — even more so because the city’s soul has stayed the same.
“If you somebody who want to be fascinated by the skyline, the ocean, the boats, that’s easy,” said Ross. “But if you want to get that real soulfulness, that down-home realness, come to my city. Come to Miami Gardens.”
Ross, who grew up in the Miami Gardens neighborhood of Carol City, is one of the headliners at this weekend’s Jazz in the Gardens music festival. Although this will be his first time performing at the festival, he says he has paid special attention to how the brand has grown to something that “has to be on calendars now.”
“Jazz in the Gardens is about that family atmosphere,” said Ross.
