Rick Ross & Triple C's Move 12,000 Units

Rick Ross and Triple C's new album, Custom Cars & Cycles were able to just barely outsell 50 Cent's first-week sales projections after selling 12,100 units over the past seven days.

The four-member rap group also landed on the charts with their Def Jam debut.

Rick Ross & Triple C's new album, Custom Cars & Cycles landed onto the charts this week at No. 44. With seven days under their names, the group consisting of Ross, Gunplay, Young Breed and Torch were able to sell 12,000 records after a week in stores. UPDATED: Custom Cars & Cycles has sold 12,100 albums according to Nielsen Soundscan. (Sales Wrap)

50 had previously predicted the album to move around 10,000 units.

"Threw the death blow to Rick, boom, six months later, Triple C's CD come Tuesday, you gonna find what those numbers are and you're gonna fall out," Fif promised in an interview. "You're gonna identify with the death blow. They can break ten [thousand copies] if they buy some. They can buy some. I don't know [all their names]. We know the police officer. We know the one that got knocked out. We know the kid from the Bronx. He's the tough one, right? The other guy, he wasn't sure if he wanted dreads or he wanted a flat top...People are developing this thing with me where they feel like I'm the bad guy, like I have bad intentions. It's not actually true, actually, I'd like to speak with the kids and tell them, 'Please, do not be this. Do not be like this.' [laughs] You understand?" (My Place)

To put all this into perspective, Young Money's Drake moved 13,300 units in it's 7th week, totaling 210,700. A mixtape that was free for download and was then released in stores moved more units in its 7th week than the debut of Triple C's Custom Cars & Cycles. Ouch.

There is no reason why South rappers is doing only 12,000 in the first week when we got Diamond selling artist like Outkast in our roster. Thing is, it doesn't matter where you're from, you still gotta make good music.
