Last year, during wintertime, Drake attempted to stake his claim over the entire summer when he released "Summer Sixteen." It worked. Commercially, at least, Drake pretty much owned the year. Right now, Rick Ross appears to be doing something similar. Ross has a new song called "Summer 17." And while it's hard to imagine Ross dominating this year the way Drake did last year, the song is a banger, with a monstrous warhammer of a beat and Ross sounding urgent and motivated. Check it out below.

The new Ross album Rather You Than Me is coming sometime soon on Epic.
