Birdman Says Cash Money/Young Money Planning Six New Albums

Posted on 25. Jul, 2009 by Danny M.

Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne’s offshoot imprint, Young Money Entertainment, are staging a virtual coup on the industry this fall.

In a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, Cash Money’s co-founder Bryan “Baby” Williams revealed the label’s combined roster will release up to six albums between September and October of this year.

Leading off the assault will be Hip-Hop’s newest star, Drake, who officially joined the Young Money roster in late June.

“We’re putting out five albums, we gonna do a blow out,” Bryan “Baby” Williams told AllHipHop.com. “Drake album, my album, Young Money, Wayne album. We gon’ put ‘em all out in one month, September going into October. G. Malone and 2 Pistol probably come out in between all of that.”
