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.

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.

“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.”

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.

“When you’re done Watching The Throne, turn around and watch me, when you’re done with the Carter 4 come back to me for more, when you’re done with that Drake, no, I ain’t trying to hate but I’m back up on my grind and I’m about to skaaaaate on these niggas,” he rapped. “Put it on your blog and your tumblrs on your twitters that Lupe said that he’s the best, n***a!”

Lupe Fiasco recently released his Lasers album, which has been doing great in sales. We’ll just have to wait and see how well he continues to do to see if he really reigns supreme in the rap game. He recently announced the dates for his Generation Laser tour. Take a look at this video of Lupe Fiasco’s freestyle gig:

The lawsuit was filed on August 1st by Done Deal Enterprises, a production company located in Waynesboro, Georgia. They are claiming that Lil’ Wayne stole their copyrighted song “Bedrock”, and used it for a track with the same name. The beat was originally produced by Kane Beatz. The lawsuit is against Lil’ Wayne, Universal Music Group, Cash Money Records and Young Money Records. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court , Southern district of New York.

They are scheduled to appear in court on October 12, 2011. None of Lil’ Wayne’s lawyers or representatives have made any return comments regarding this matter. This is yet another legal woe for the rapper, Dwayne Carter Jr., who was also sued by a couple of producers for unpaid royalties.

Shame, shame, shame. It looks like Lil’ Wayne doesn’t like to pay for the work that he uses. This isn’t going to look good on his resume. Who would want to work with a multi-millionaire who doesn’t like to share the wealth, even when its well-deserved? Pay your contractors!

The Senior General Manager of Casio America, Toshi Iguchi states how Casio is excited to bring Minaj on the team by providing the company with more public appeal due to Minaj’s image as a top selling artist. He commends her “wow” factor as an important inspiration in launching the TRYX. They enjoy her company in the launching project because of her cooperation and willingness, as well as her affinity toward Casio’s digital cameras, especially when she made a statement on how great quality is with the Casio TRYX.

This endorsement will put Minaj as a competitor against fellow Young Money Label artist Drake, together with Pitbull, Trey Songz, and Rihanna when they joined Kodak, earlier in 2011.

With the Casio Tryx slowly grabbing momentum, you can catch Minaj at the Best Buy Theater April 7th in New York. Along with the launch, you can also enjoy a performance to be led by The Roots.

With Minaj’s hot music in the mix, the Casio endorsement shall truly grab the attention of many, especially with its compact zeal and the launch party that treats the Casio TRYX like Hip Hop royalty.
Be there April 7th and you can witness high definition quality right before your very eyes!

“We all fit together well because we’re all so different,” he says when he talks about different artists under the label. Nick Minaj, with her sassy style, makes her the first female rapper in Cash Money. With that, you’ve got Drake and Lil’ Wayne hitting the music scene with new style on the block. Bow Wow, on the other hand, brings home the gold with a triple threat combo of producing the movies and music, showing how they contribute to each other’s success.

Bow Wow makes a statement of how he can do many things to help his label and its artists achieve success. In fact, he can easily tap into Hollywood, with his experience. “Nicki wants to do movies; she was supposed to be in ‘Lottery Ticket’, a lot of people didn’t know that. She actually auditioned; I set it up and everything.” This shows how the rapper devotes his time to his label, making him a powerful figure, indeed.

With the rapper on fire right now with Cash Money, Bow Wow shows that he’s not one to lay low for a label he loves. With new music on the way, Bow Wow devotes his time on improving his style and helping other artists as well.
