Cash Money resident producer Mannie
Fresh
recently revealed to the Associated Press how he continuesto create fresh new ideas for the stable of Cash Money artists. The secret to
his formula he said, was returning to his block and simply watching the streets
in New Orleans.
"If you’ve got a block, just go to the hood
for a little while and just sit around," he said. "You could sit out
there for a day and you’ll see some things that you ain’t seen, and you’ve got
a whole lot to write about. When I get there, I’ve just got to go back down
to earth or whatever. Just go back to my old ‘hood. Chill for a little while
or whatever."
In related news, BG’s Chopper City Records, which
is distributed by Cash Money is preparing to release BG’s younger brother, Hakim.
Hakim’s debut album, titled Street Poetry will hit the stores later this
year. Lil Wayne is also preparing to release his album, Block Burna in
