We are excited to announce that world-renowned hip-hop artist and New York Times bestselling author Rick Ross is joining us for the 2026 Mississippi Book Festival on Saturday, September 26, right here in downtown Jackson!
Born in Clarksdale, Ross is returning to his roots to share his new book, Renaissance of a Boss Man: Notes from a Creative Reawakening. We all know him for his massive presence in music and business, but this book shows a different side. It’s a raw, powerful look at what it takes to reinvent yourself, stay creative, and build a legacy that actually lasts.
He’ll be taking the stage for an open conversation about his creative journey, his vision, and what it really means to define success on your own terms.
