If you ask rapper, Lil Wayne, he’ll tell you that it’s still “YMCMB”.
During a radio appearance on Fox Sports Radio show Up On Game, Wayne announced that a new compilation album from the Young Money collective is on the way.
“We about to put the compilation together with all the artists together on one album,” Wayne said. “That sets up everything for everybody so they could start coming out with their solo projects as well.”
If you’re feeling a certain sense of excitement, then you’re not the only one. Lil Wayne made his name as a great eye for talent and music when he started his Young Money imprint label back in 2004. Right before going to jail in 2010, Wayne introduced the world to the Young Money team with their first compilation album; We Are Young Money.
The project featured some of today’s rap stars, including Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga. They put out another entry in 2014 with their Rise of an Empire album. Both compilation albums gave us memorable bangers such as “BedRock,” “Roger That,” “Senile”, and “Trophies”.
So a new Young Money album, after several years removed from the last one, will be welcomed return to form.
In the interview, Weezy also talked about his latest single, “Ain’t Got Time,” featuring singer Fousheé. He spoke very highly of the young vocalist and her musical abilities.
“That girl is super talented, bro,” Wayne said of Fousheé. “Super talented. She’ll come in the studio, pick up a guitar, don’t know how to read no music, just plays by ear and kills it, man.”
