Lil Boosie Set To Release New Album

Tuesday, August 24 2010 8:19 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Although Lil Boosie’s facing murder and drug charges, that isn’t stopping Trill Entertainment from releasing his next album aptly titled, Incarcerated. DJ Drama caught an early listen and had this to say:

“Lil Boosie is one of the most important Southern and street artists of this generation, period,” Mr. Thanksgiving applauded. “Boosie always gives you the ghetto in a real and authentic way. The music on Incarcerated lives up to that standard. I hope and pray for Lil Boosie to get through his struggle.”

Album is due out September 28th. Tracklist after the jump.

Swizz Beatz Talks “Power (Remix)”

Monday, August 23 2010 9:21 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Kanye may have delivered the “Power (Remix)” later than expected, but Swizzy explains the delay and the pressure that came along with it. Stay tuned, another one is on the way.

“He definitely, definitely was focused. ‘Cause when he made that announcement, we didn’t have what we had. But you know when something feels right and it’s time to let something to go.’Ye was trying to put it out the best way possible, to give it to the people. And then the day before, the last day, before the remix dropped, it just felt like the song needed to change up. I heard it changing up on something different, something that was already on the beat. And I was trying to explain it, but I didn’t want to go in too much because [Kanye] was writing his verse. But it sparked an idea.”
