Torch talks Rick Ross and ”Teflon Don” [Video included]
Torch Reflects on Rick Ross and the Impact of Teflon Don
Torch, a loyal member of both Maybach Music Group and Triple C’s, continues to make waves in the underground hip-hop scene. Representing the Bronx in a crew dominated by Miami natives, Torch brings a unique perspective to Rick Ross’s empire. In a recent interview with Mikey T The Movie Star, Torch shared his thoughts on the evolution of Maybach Music, Rick Ross’s groundbreaking album Teflon Don, and his role within the crew.
From the Bronx to Maybach Music
As one of the few non-Miami members of Triple C’s, Torch stands out for his Bronx roots and unwavering loyalty to Maybach Music Group. Despite not achieving mainstream success, Torch has cultivated a strong underground following, gaining respect for his lyrical talent and work ethic. His commitment to the Maybach brand is evident in his praise for Rick Ross. It’s also evident in his consistent efforts to elevate the crew.
Reflecting on his journey, Torch said, “I’m here representing Triple C’s, and we’re still out here grinding. Ross set the standard with his vision, and we’re all just building on that legacy.”
The Impact of Teflon Don
Rick Ross’s Teflon Don has been a game-changer, solidifying his status as one of hip-hop’s heavyweights. Torch highlighted the stark contrast between Teflon Don and Ross’s previous album, Deeper Than Rap. “Deeper Than Rap was embroiled in controversy, but it showed the world Ross could face adversity and come out stronger. With Teflon Don, he came back bigger and better,” Torch explained.
Torch also spoke about the universal appeal of Teflon Don, particularly the success of tracks like “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast).” “Man, I’ve been in clubs where they don’t even speak English, and they’re rapping along to B.M.F. word for word. That’s when I knew this album was out of here,” he said.
The Evolution of Maybach Music Group
Maybach Music Group has grown exponentially since its inception, with Rick Ross at the helm as both an artist and a visionary. Torch credited Ross’s leadership for the crew’s success, emphasizing how the team’s collaborative efforts have pushed boundaries in hip-hop.
“Ross is the boss for a reason,” Torch stated. “He’s not just about making hits; he’s about building a movement. Whether it’s the music, the visuals, or the branding, everything is on point.”
Torch also mentioned the upcoming video shoot for “Aston Martin Music,” featuring Rick Ross and Drake. “That’s history in the making,” he said. “Ross and Drake together? You already know it’s going to be something special.”
Reflections on Triple C’s
While Rick Ross has achieved superstardom, Torch remains focused on representing Triple C’s. He described the group’s debut album, Custom Cars & Cycles, as one of the most underrated projects in hip-hop. “Everyone tells me how hot that album is, but the numbers didn’t reflect it,” Torch admitted. “Still, the streets showed love, and that’s what matters.”
Torch’s dedication to Triple C’s and Maybach Music is unwavering. Despite not yet achieving mainstream success, he remains optimistic about the future. “It’s only a matter of time before the world catches up,” he said.
Torch’s Perspective on the Hustle
Torch also discussed the challenges of staying consistent in a highly competitive industry. “This game isn’t just about talent; it’s about the grind,” he said. “Every day, we’re out here proving ourselves, making sure the streets know we’re not slowing down.”
As Maybach Music continues to expand its influence, Torch sees his role as essential to the crew’s success. “We all play a part in this movement,” he explained. “Ross may be the face, but every one of us is putting in the work to keep Maybach Music on top.”
Maybach Music’s Global Reach
Torch spoke about the global impact of Maybach Music Group, pointing to the widespread popularity of Teflon Don. “It’s crazy to see people all over the world connecting with our music,” he said. “From the U.S. to the Dominican Republic, people know the words to our songs. That’s the power of what we’re building.”
Torch added that the success of Teflon Don has opened doors for the entire crew. “When Ross wins, we all win,” he noted. “It’s about lifting each other up and making sure the movement stays strong.”
What’s Next for Torch?
As Maybach Music Group continues to rise, Torch is gearing up for his next moves. With a focus on expanding his solo career while remaining loyal to the crew, Torch is determined to make his mark. He expressed excitement about future collaborations and projects, hinting at new music on the horizon.
“I’m just staying consistent,” Torch said. “The grind doesn’t stop, and the love from the fans keeps me going. This is just the beginning.”
Conclusion: Loyalty and Legacy
Torch’s loyalty to Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group is a testament to the strength of their movement. As Teflon Don continues to dominate the charts and Maybach Music solidifies its place in hip-hop history, Torch remains a key player in the crew’s success.
When it comes to building MMG, Rick Ross has ambitious, strategic, plans. Ross has said that he wants artists from each region signed to the label. With Torch, he has New York City covered. After all, Torch is from The Bronx. However, he spent time in Miami, where he met Ross and the Triple C’s. As a result, he’s is a core member of the group.
The Triple C’s have a solid movement, with and without Rick Ross. Definitely, Ross’ global appeal put them on the map. However, their own talent led to the Def Jam deal. Torch and the others are now determined to make it work. One thing about it, they are commanding attention. 50 Cent wasted no time dissing Triple C’s, as they began marketing their debut album.
For Torch, the journey is about more than just personal accolades. It’s about contributing to a legacy that transcends music. “We’re building something bigger than ourselves,” he said. “When people talk about Maybach Music, they’re talking about a dynasty.”
