Update: This was part of an April Fools' Day prank. While the track itself is real and Rick Ross did release it - that is the only accurate part of this story. It is not called "Hello Good Early Afternoon" and no further adjustments will be made to the track (that we know of). Please read the April Fools' Day post for full details.

Earlier today, we reported that Dirty Money would be releasing a series of remixes for "Hello Good Morning," including "Hello Good Early Afternoon" featuring Rick Ross.

A rough version of this track can now be heard on XXLMag.com. The Rick Ross verse is the main part to pay attention to here as the rest of the track will be adjusted to match the new title.

Update: This was an April Fools' Day joke. There is no truth to this story - it is simply a prank. Please read the April Fools' Day post for full details. Thank you for having a laugh with us.
