Rick Ross at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live

MUSIC

Rick Ross has a delightfully titled full-length, “God Forgives, I Don’t,” to showcase his clipped, gruff delivery atop brutally gothic and synthetic beats. His rise to rap’s upper echelon was unlikely, but his strong charisma and idiosyncratic flow look likely to remain a genre staple. Nokia Theatre, 777 Chick Hearn Court, L.A. 8 p.m. Fri. $65-$150.
