"We're thinking around November. We're putting a single out this month and we're hoping for November. We're getting all our ducks in a row. Again, it's right now as I do another movie, the whole thing with Fast & Furious and how we had to stop production and start again. There was a whole plan to drop the album when I had time and then the whole movie got pushed back seven months. So I want to make sure there is a clear lane for me to just focus on music and go out and promote, as opposed to just dropping an album and not being able to back it up." (Billboard Interview)
The long awaited album from Lil Wayne, Tha Carter 5 has finally gotten a release date. Much more than that, Wayne also revealed the cover-art for the album on ESPN Sports Center today. According to Wayne, Tha Carter 5 is set to drop on the 28 of October. 
Jeezy's fifth album, Seen It All is scheduled for a September 2nd release date, and the album cover-art just hit the Internet. It has people shouting ILLUMINATI because of the all-seeing-eye (which is the supposed logo of the secret society that everyone seems to know so much about). Jeezy has come forward to set things straight. 
“I mean, I wanted to do a crest. I kind of was getting some of the feedback, the Illuminati. Let me say this first and foremost, do not get art and creativity confused with ignorance. I am a hard-working, God-fearing man. I have no idea what an Illuminati is and really don’t give a damn. It has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to do something different and something bigger. That was just my vision. It’s kind of a dark album, so I just wanted to have that kind of mystique about it. Something you wanted to keep as a collector’s edition. Even when Pac—not to compare—but when Pac did Makaveli and he put himself on that cross, that’s how he felt. He felt like it was him against the world, him against all odds. He put himself in that mind state. That’s just how I feel. I feel like I’m bigger than the music. I feel like I’m a leader. I can do that. I don’t wanna stand in front of a Lamborghini and give you another picture of me [with] five chains on. That’s wack for me. I’m nine years in the game, ten years in the game, I’m trying to push the envelope a little bit. But I’ll tell you this, the album cover is whatever, but when you open that album and play that album then we ain’t gon’ have this conversation. That music is A-1, you heard me? All that.”

Remy Ma has been in prison since 2008, but her days behind bars are numbered. She is coming home July 31, like 50 days from now, and her camp has started a campaign to build up anticipation before the day. I'm sure her husband, Papoose can't wait till she gets home. Remy was signed to Fat Joe's Terror Squad label in the early 2000, and got her first big break with Fat Joe on the Terror Squad mega-hit song, Lean Back.
Let's hope she shakes things up a bit in Hip Hop when she comes out. I wont even mind a lil beef between her and Nicki Minaj. Being that she is wearing a crown in this pic, I know Nicki would want to take offence. Let's see how this goes. Personally tho, Lil Kim is still the Queen to me...I don't care how messed up her face is.
"The next project, Street King Immortal, was already written before I wrote [Animal Ambition: An Untamed Desire To Win]. That’s how I know to write it like this. Street King Immortal will actually be out in September. I have a real strict schedule. I’m going to be moving around a lot. It’s going to be a lot of work."

1. Lion ft. Styles P & Raekwon (Prod. By Hazardis Soundz)"For the new album, she's doing what she feels like doing and we're supporting her. You hear a lot of growth in her music. She's coming confident and hard. We expect for this to be one of the biggest from her. It's more rap. This album is going to have a little bit of everything but more rap. I am sure some of the team will be on it. She's still doing her thing, then getting features on it. She's definitely coming this year. She hasn't picked a date yet. What she did for Young Money is totally different then what she's doing for her album. She's more girly-er. 'Tha Carter V' will definitely come before Nicki's." (Billboard)
"There's a lot of people I want to work with. I want to definitely work with these MMG guys; I love what they're doing. I love Ross. I f*ck with Meek. He's one of my favorites right now. I love everything he puts out. I f*ck with French. I like Nicki. She's been doing her thing. I like that YG kid, a lot. When July comes around, I'm around. That's my motto: I'm around." (Billboard)
50 Cent departed Shady-Aftermath Records/Interscope Records last week, and shortly afterwards, he released a new video titled The Funeral. The video is for the first single off 50's upcoming underground album titled Animal Ambition (album is scheduled to drop June 3rd). He has total control of how and when his music drops with his new label, and plans to drop an underground album, before dropping his official 5th studio album, Street King Immortal.
"Right now, I'm probably working harder than I've ever worked in my life. Aside from around the time of The Eminem Show, when I was also doing the 8 Mile movie and soundtrack and score and sh*t like that. This is probably the equivalent of that, but all focused on the record. Calling it The Marshall Mathers LP 2, obviously I knew that there might be certain expectations. I wouldn't want to call it that just for the sake of calling it that. I had to make sure that I had the right songs - and just when you think you got it, you listen and you're like, 'F*ck, man! I feel like it needs this or that,' to paint the whole picture." (Rolling Stone)
