Maybach Music Group released its first album in the summer of 2009, which was Rick Ross' third studio album Deeper Than Rap. After the release, Ross focused more on signing artists to his label, in the process discovering musicians such as hip hop group Triple C's who consists of members Gunplay, Torch, & Young Breed. On October 27, 2009 Ross released Triple C's debut studio album Custom Cars & Cycles through Def Jam.
In 2010, MMG issued Teflon Don, with another album titled Color, Cut & Clarity by Triple C's also scheduled for distribution, but was delayed and has yet to be released.
That same year, Ross made an offer to rapper Wiz Khalifa to sign to Maybach Music Group. Khalifa at the time was already signed with Atlantic Records.
In 2011, Ross confirmed that he intended to launch Maybach Music Jamaica along with Maybach Music Latino. He also signed Maybach Music Group's first reggae artist, Magazeen.
On May 23, 2011, Maybach Music Group released the album Self Made Vol. 1, featuring Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Pill, and Wale.
On January 2, 2012 while in the studio with Rick Ross, French Montana announced that he had signed a joint venture deal with Maybach Music Group and Bad Boy Records with Rick Ross and Diddy set to executive produce his debut album. It was announced that his debut album Excuse My French would be released in Fall 2012 through Interscope Records.
On February 4, 2012, Rick Ross spoke about the departure of Pill from Maybach Music Group and revealed that Pill was never actually signed to Maybach Music Group. Pill was already signed to Warner Brothers prior to Maybach Music Group and it was Warner executives who proposed the idea of Pill joining. Ross says that they worked out a one year deal, were Pill would be part of the team and after the year was up, it would be up to Warner Brother Records to decide if he stayed or not.
On May 2, 2012, Rick Ross would go on to sign Omarion to the Maybach Music Group. He also announced that Self Made Vol. 2 would be released on June 26, 2012 and God Forgives, I Don't would be released on July 31, 2012.
On June 26, 2012 while promoting Self Made 2 Rick Ross said that Gunplay signed a solo deal with Def Jam and that more material would be released from Gunplay leading up to his debut album.
There has been rumors that rapper Dom Kennedy is in talks on joining the label but when asked about the rumors Ross stated that he was a fan of him, but as of yet is not signed to Maybach Music Group.
On July 12, 2012 after rumors that rapper Rockie Fresh was in talks to joining the label, Ross confirmed that Rockie Fresh was the newest addition to Maybach Music Group. Rockie Fresh is currently working on a new mixtape entitled Electric Highway that is set to drop sometime in the fall and will be his first project released under the imprint.

MMG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just tryna know you better
Let's start with the basics, your in seam, where your waist is
Nail color, shoe size, what designer's your favorite?
Trick dollar, I plays this, couple niggas you played with
Kenzo, gift bags for all the bitches you came with
These niggas on the same shit, Red Lobster, red bottom
Rrrrah, but I'm still here, you see I'm still here
A lot of niggas just came and went but at least you know that it's real here
Fly you down to where the Heat go, lay you out to where the beach go
Jet ski, parasail, yacht as big as my ego (wooh!)
Heart cold as ever, but I can show you better
If we're gonna roll together, I gotta get to know you better
Tell me what's your name, tell me, tell what's your sign
Tell me what you into, tell me, tell what you like
If you were rich tomorrow tell me what would you do with it?
And if you could see the future, baby do you see me in it?
Would you date me for a minute? Girl before you let me hit it?
Are you single? Are you taken? Working towards your education?
I'm just askin, I'm just sayin, what's your current situation?
Cause I see you 'cross the room and you the baddest in the building, what's up?
See I donβt wanna get into your draws yet (Oh yeah)

The song Know You Better by MMG (Maybach Music Group) features three rappers, Omarion, Pusha T, and Fabolous, who all take turns trying to get to know a woman better. They ask questions about basic things such as her name, sign, and what she likes and dislikes, as well as deeper questions such as her current situation, whether she's single or taken, and what her future plans are. They also ask some flirty and suggestive questions, such as whether she is a smoker or drinker and what she likes in bed. The song is all about trying to form a connection with someone and getting to know them on a deeper level before taking things to the next level.
The lyrics in the song are pretty straightforward, but they are delivered in a smooth and catchy way that makes the song catchy and enjoyable. The beat of the song is also very catchy and fits well with the lyrics, making it easy to listen to and easy to dance to. The song overall is a good representation of the trap rap genre, which is known for its catchy beats and easy-to-remember lyrics.

Can't be one of them gone make me slacking
Could be one of them gon' pull your own weight
You glossing up, I can't wait to match it

And your purse is matchin'
