Rick Ross’ Port of Miami debut arrived in 2006 and launched Rozay into rap stardom. The Florida native announced on Wednesday (March 11) that he’s going to be celebrating the album with a 20th anniversary tour across North America this summer.
The Port of Miami 20th Anniversary Black-Tie Experience Orchestra Tour is set to kick off in Miami at the James L. Knight Center on May 29. Fans are encouraged to attend in black-tie attire to bring an elevated experience to the red carpet event.
Pre-sale tickets are currently available on the Port of Miami 20th anniversary website through Ticketmaster. The general public will have their chance to purchase tickets on Friday morning (March 13) at 10 a.m. local time.
Rozay and the Sainted Trap Choir will be making stops in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Houston, New York City, Philly, Chicago, Detroit, Orlando, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, Greensboro, Washington, D.C. and wrap up in Charlotte on Aug. 29.
“Port of Miami was the foundation of an empire, the blueprint to the biggest boss,” Rozay said in a statement. “20 years later, we aren’t just celebrating an album; we are elevating the culture. Bringing this music to the stage with a full orchestra and choir in a black-tie setting is about cementing the legacy. It’s luxury, it’s historic, and it’s a milestone we are going to celebrate at the absolute highest level.”
Port of Miami — originally titled Career Criminal — arrived in August 2006 and cemented Ricky Rozay’s status in the rap game. The LP launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 187,000 album units earned in the first week.
POM was led by singles like “Hustlin,” which peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and saw Jay-Z and Jeezy hop on the remix. Over a decade later, Ross ended up releasing a sequel to his debut, with Port of Miami 2 arriving in 2019.
