Rick Ross is setting out on tour to support his forthcoming sixth studio album, Mastermind, and he's adding an especially bawsey element: live instrumentation. "We'll be performing everything from 'Tears of Joy' to 'Aston Martin Music,' all with a live band," he said in a statement. "It's time to remind everyone what Maybach Music is all about."

The eight-city jaunt with the 1500 or Nothin Band kicks off Nov. 12 at Detroit's Masonic Temple Theatre, and hits Boston; New York City; Mashantucket, Conn.; Washington, D.C.; and Atlanta before rapping up in his home state with stops in St. Petersburg (Nov. 22) and Miami (Nov. 23). 

Though no release date has been set for the album as yet, it's being lead by the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League-produced single "No Games" featuring Future, which dropped earlier this month.
