As we wait for Rick Ross to drop his long awaited 'Mastermind' album, the Miami rapper released the cover art to the deluxe version of the upcoming project.

The Bawse teamed up with famed artist Mr. Brainwash to designed a colorful yet eye-raising image. The cover art features Rozay holding a gun on the side of his temple and colorful blood bursting out on the other side of his head.

Reactions to the artwork have been mixed. Some love it but there were others who felt the image was too extreme.

"[I don’t know] who’s idea this was but these two covers totally don't fit an album coming wit da name 'Mastermind,'" wrote one fan. "I would’ve expected rozay to put a really elegant, classy cover which portraits Mastermind!"

One commenter loved the artwork exclaiming, "Game changer," while another person wrote, "Ricky rozay mastermind can't wait to get that 4 days before my bday madness gonna be a crazy album with [tons] of heavy tracks."

Rick Ross’ 'Mastermind' is set to hit retail stores on March 4. The set’s kick off single, 'War Ready,' featuring his former rival Jeezy, will be released on Feb. 11.
