Future & Rocko To Record Album Together

In recent years, Atlanta, Georgia rapper Rocko (a/k/a Rocko Da Don) signed Future to his A1 Recordings label. It was this label, along with Epic Records, that released the Dungeon Family affiliate’s Pluto and subsequent Pluto-3D in 2012. Speaking with DJ Scream and Cory B’s Hoodtime Radio yesterday (March 24), Rock revealed that the two ATL rappers have much more planned. “Me and Future, we gonna do an album together. We’ll probably drop it at the end of the year, or the top of next year,” said Rocko, who released his Top 25 charting Self Made debut in 2008 on So So Def/Def Jam Records. Asked about whether the project would be retail or mixtape, Rocko replied, “As far as mixtapes, we really tryin’ to flip this thing and monetize all this music now. It’s like, we gave away all this free music, for all this time.” He added, “Support our campaign one time.”

Raekwon Talks New "F.I.L.A." LP, Refers To The Album As A "Lifestyle Project"

Raekwon’s recent Lost Jewlry mixtape may have been a highly praised release, but according to the Wu-Tang spitter, the project was merely an appetizer leading up to the release of his new LP this summer. While chopping it up with HipHopSince1987.com, Raekwon revealed that his next LP titled F.I.L.A. (Fly International Luxurious Art) will serve as a “lifestyle project” that the world can relate to. “I got another project coming out, which is the LP causeLost Jewlry was basically an appetizer mixtape. To really get everybody to just get ready for me,” Raekwon explained. “So we wanted to drop something that we know that will make the heads turn like ‘Yo, Rae got it together on this right here.’ So you know, the next project is called F.I.L.A. F-I-L-A, which the acronym is basically Fly International Luxurious Art. That’s my next project that’s coming out in June. That one is a lifestyle project. It’s gonna be hot. I just got to the level of finishing it up and I’m feeling real good about this.”

After sharing his thoughts on a possible Wu-Tang Clan biopic, the rapper again spoke on a possible Wu-Tang Clan reunion album and shared that everyone would have to be “comfortable” for such an album to be made. “That right there is in the makings and it’s a lot of negotiations going on,” said Raekwon. “Process of really making everybody comfortable. We’re praying that that works. You know what I mean? That [it] works out in the greatest way. Everything has to be right. When you dealing with nine guys and you splitting the pot nine ways, it gotta make sense. Cause we got children now.” Raekwon’s Lost Jewlry EP was released in January of this year and featured guest appearances from Maino, Freddie Gibbs, and more.

Wale Reveals Plans To Release 2 Albums In 2013 [VIDEO]

. . , , , , , , ,

Wale recently sat down with Mina SayWhat of Philly’s Power 99 to discuss his Folarin mixtape, as well as what fans can expect from him in 2013. One thing the MMG rapper revealed was his plan to release two projects before year’s end, one of which will be the Jerry Senfeild-assisted Nothing. ”I’m dropping my third solo album first, and then a couple months after that I’ma [sic] probably drop the Nothing project,” said Wale, who neither denied or confirmed whether the latter would be a mixtape or another full length LP. He also spoke on what fans can expect from his album sonically. “It’s going to have one sound. It’s very, very soulful, and ‘Bad’ is a pretty good indication of the direction that I’m going for this particular project. It’s a little nostalgic, a little vintage, but the music and the sounds will make you feel on this album.” Wale kept the lid sealed on the features and production credits that will be on the project, because “a lot of things change.” Considering that the lyricist admittedly “over records” for his projects these days, it’s safe to say that fans can expect a lot of loose tracks to drop as the album’s summer release date draws near. See Wale speak more on both projects, and the whispers about the gradual change in his musical content in the full interview below.

Future Talks Possibility Of Recording Collaborative Mixtape With Drake

Future recently dropped his F.B.G. The Movie mixtape, touting the collaboration “Fo Real” with Drake. During an interview with Civil TV, the Atlanta, Georgia rapper said that he actually recorded two duets with Drizzy and that he ended up saving one of them for his upcoming sophomore album Future Hendrix. “It’s off the mixtape, because I also have a record that’s for my album that I really wanted to be on my album,” he said. “I just had it sitting aside for the album. It was another record, so I didn’t want to have two records with him on the album. I know this other record is in a whole other lane, it’s a lane-changer.” He also fielded a question about whether or not he would work with Drake on something more substantial, along the lines of an EP or mixtape. The “Turn On the Lights” rapper said that they would need to block off time in their schedules to record something of that nature, but that it’s a possibility, “Man, we was in the studio one time just talkinga bout the K-Ci & JoJo album,” he said. “But besides that, when we’re in the studio, we in the zone. Me and dude be in the super zone. We be on the same page. You could turn on the beat and we just find ways to build from it, and we just trying to find time to make it happen and squeeze it in there.”
