The song is funky like we expected and should be a great listen in CDQ when it arrives. For now, we have to be content with this.

LIL WAYNE: “I JUST SIGNED A DEAL WITH MY MOTHERF*CKING IDOL JAY Z” (VIDEO)

Last night Lil Wayne performed at KMEL Summer Jam in the Bay area and had a very special announcement to make for the crowd.

When ‘Glory‘ dropped exclusively on Tidal, a lot of people were surprised at the fact, questioning whether Wayne was in talks to sign to Jay Z as an artist or if the exclusive was a one off. Now, it seems that we have our answer.

Weezy revealed during his set that he has signed a deal with his idol Jay Z. Although some were initially wondering whether Wayne meant signing to Roc Nation or just a deal with Tidal, it seems that the latter is far more probable considering Cash Money is still holding Wayne hostage and he is not listed anywhere on Roc Nation’s website.

Looks like we can expect new Wayne music to come out exclusively through Tidal in the near future. What are your thoughts? Check out the video of the announcement below.

It’s been a long time coming but Method Man has finally announced the release of his new solo album titled The Meth Lab. It was originally supposed to be a mixtape and due in March this year but will now be treated as a full length album, hitting stores August 21 via Tommy Boy Entertainment.

The album will feature guest appearances from Redman, Raekwon, Hanz On, Streetlife, Inspectah Deck and more plus production from Ron Browz, Allah Mathematics, J57, and 4th Disciple. He also chatted briefly with nerdist about the album:

What can we expect from the new album?

I kept it real and low-key, like I do in my studio. I know a lot of artists that have reached out, but I wanted to save those artists for my last Method Man album. I wanted this one to be a platform for more Staten Island artists to be heard that aren’t getting heard, because you know if it isn’t Wu Tang–I mean, we never blocked anyone from trying to get a record deal. I mean the way the record industry works is, if something’s not broke, don’t fix it. Bottom line is there’s a lot more talent to be heard from Staten Island outside of Wu Tang artists, and these kids are dope. I wanted to just give them a platform to be heard. I’m on every song, but I’m not exactly on any songs by myself, with the exception of one.

Watch the animated trailer for the LP below.
