Tyga to Release “Careless World: Rise of the Last King” Soon

January 26th, 2012 | By

Rapper Tyga is hopeful to release his latest album, “Careless World: Rise of the Last King” set for February, the rapper said.

As his second studio release, the album will feature collaboration with Young Money, where this album will be his first release, Busta Rhymes, Soulja Boy, and Lil Wayne. In anticipation of the release of the album, the rapper has released singles such as “Still Got It”, featuring Drake, “Far Away”, and “Rack City.” These singles got positive feedback which prompted Tyga to push for the awaited release of the complete album.

Tyga said during a fan UStream session, that, “I’m excited to drop this album that I was supposed to drop like three months ago. I just want ya’ll to know that it’s not my fault because it’s just bunch of bullshit that you gotta deal with when you’re putting out an album.” After this, Tyga indicated that he is hopeful for a Feb. 7 release of the album.

Tyga said that the album shows his maturity but the fact that he still relates to kids with the innovative album he is to release. Tyga has made a name in the Hip Hop industry and his fast paced raps and writing style makes him a growing master of music.

Tyga was first recognized with his debut single “Coconut Juice” where he worked with Travie Mccoy, his cousin. Through this, Tyga has enhanced his rapping and performed until he has taken a spot in the Hip Hop industry in Young Money Entertainment.

Busta Rhymes Signs with Cash Money Records

November 21st, 2011 | By

The rumors have been confirmed by Busta Rhymes himself. He has indeed signed with Cash Money Records. The vet rapper made the confirmation while on the Funk Master Flex radio show. Busta has been pretty busy lately – he was on Chris Brown’s latest album and has won multiple awards for it. If you look into his musical history, you’ll notice that he has a knack for associating himself with the winning teams. The same goes for his newest decision to get down with Cash Money Records.

Just look at their track record and you’ll see why he made this choice. They have a lot of big names under their belt right now like Nicki Minaj and Drake. Some people may not like the idea of Busta Rhymes signing a contract with CSR, but there are a few good reasons to why it is definitely a good decision.

For one, hooking up with Cash Money will get him full access to some of the top names in the industry, including Lil’ Wayne, Nicki and Baby, among others. How many vet rappers can you say are still in the limelight today? Other than Jigga Man of course. With CSR, Busta will be able to stay in the spotlight for as long as he can put forth tight work. He’s been doing great so far, so we’ll see if he can do even better under their record label.

Let’s face it, if you want to make big money, you have to target the youth. And the youth today aren’t into lyricism like the last generation of hip hoppers, so Busta should do farely well financially under Cash Money Records.

A Beef Sparking Between Jay-Z and Weezy?

October 8th, 2011 | By

A small spark of beef has been crackling away between Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne, but the two rappers are downplaying it. Jay-Z says that it is the sport of rap music. It all began with Jay-Z making a comment in his track about Baby Money:

“I’m like, ‘Really, half-a-billi?’ N***a, really, you got Baby money/ Keep it real with n****s, n****s ain’t got my lady money.”

Weezy struck back in his song “It’s Good” where he says:

“Talkin’ bout Baby money? I got your baby money/ Kidnap your b***h, get that how-much-you-love-your-lady money.”

During his Shawn Carter Foundations’ Making the Ordinary Extraordinary fundraiser, Jay-Z told MTV:

“That’s sport, that’s Rap music. Nothing is going to change but the participants. I don’t even see why that’s news.”

Then in an interview with Lil’ Wayne, he talks of being an innovator.

“We was reminiscing on the life of Steve Jobs,” began Wayne. “An..innovator of many things. A very influential man. Most of our lives…I don’t know a person that hasn’t been influenced in some sort of way by this man. We lost that man…I think a lot too soon. Obviously too soon because I’m quite sure that there’s a bunch of people who don’t know who I’m talking about. And that’s when you’ve lost someone too soon.”

Lil’ Wayne’s New Album Leaks, but He Says He’s Glad

September 3rd, 2011 | By

Leaks in the music industry is nothing new, especially for rappers like Lil’ Wayne. Fortunately, he is used to it and even looks at it as a good thing. His new album was leaked five days before the release date, but he says he isn’t sweating it.

We did real good this time, real good,” said Wayne in an interview with MTV News following his VMA performance. “It just means people want to hear it. I mean, ’cause there’re people’s albums that come out that can be leaked and don’t leak, so I’m glad mines leaked.”

So far, his album sales haven’t slowed down much and is expected to sell close to 1 million copies within the first week. It’s already broken the iTunes sales record during its first week.

“I think we should still do well,” said Mack Maine of the project. “The leak shouldn’t have affected it that much. Actually, this is the first time that the albums leaked so close [to the release date]. Tha Carter III leaked two weeks before and we still did [1 million] the first week. So if history repeats itself, we shouldn’t have any problems.”

Here is a video of an interview with Lil’ Wayne, where he discusses his album and the leak.
