Rick Ross is bringing his debut album to the Majestic Theatre on October 3 — not a standard arena night, but something deliberately more formal. The Port of Miami 20th Anniversary Black-Tie Experience Orchestra Tour reimagines his 2006 recording as a large-room event: Ross performing alongside the Renaissance Orchestra, with That Mexican OT appearing as a special guest for the San Antonio date. Black-tie formal attire is encouraged, and the evening is billed as a high-society gala experience.
The concept fits him. Ross’s catalog is already built on maximalism — deep, commanding voice, cinematic production, soul samples stacked with weight. The recordings have always had an operatic quality about them. Adding a live orchestra to tracks like “Hustlin’” and “B.M.F.” doesn’t read as gimmick; it reads as finishing what the production started.
About Rick Ross
William Leonard Roberts II was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and raised in Miami-Dade County. Port of Miami came out in 2006, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in its first week, and introduced a sound defined by its particular luxury register: low-end authority, grand cinematic gestures, and a persona that treated the American drug economy as mythology. “Hustlin’” set the table — a bidding war, a Def Jam signing, and a career that would define southern rap’s aspirational register for the next decade. His 2010 album Teflon Don — home to “B.M.F.” and “Aston Martin Music” — is broadly considered his creative peak. In 2009 he founded Maybach Music Group, signing Meek Mill, Wale, and French Montana and building one of the more consequential rap labels of that era.
That Mexican OT
The San Antonio date comes with a specific addition worth noting. That Mexican OT — born Virgil René Gazca in Bay City, Texas — carries the screwed-up bass and trunk-rattle aesthetic that runs through Houston while pulling in Chicano rap and norteño elements, a Texas synthesis that sits in its own lane. His 2023 single “Johnny Dang,” featuring Paul Wall, peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. He is a Texas artist in the full sense of that word, and his presence on this bill in San Antonio is a deliberate choice.
The Venue
The Majestic Theatre San Antonio at 224 E Houston St holds 2,264 seats. It is a theater-class room — a natural fit for an orchestral hip-hop evening, better suited to this format than a general-admission hall or an outdoor shed.

Show time is 8:00 PM on Saturday, October 3. Black-tie formal attire is encouraged for the evening. Meet-and-greet upgrade packages — Gold and Silver tiers — are available for those who want the closer experience. Tickets are on sale now.
