Cash Money Records co-founder and CEO Bryan “Baby” Williams, known to Rap listeners as Birdman has signed a plethora of artists this year. After inking Bow Wow, Freeway and a Young Money venture with Cory Gunz, the onetime Big Tymers member may have his sights set on rapper Shyne.
The interest is mutual, as Shyne stated last month that he would prefer the New Orleans, Louisiana imprint to his Def Jam home, a deal the former Bad Boy Records rapper struck for a reported seven-figures earlier this year. After apologizing to his present label’s Chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid for earlier comments made against Def Jam, not much has been said recently about Shyne shopping to any other imprint.
Speaking with TheBoombox.com yesterday, Birdman is still interested in the late ’90s hit-maker, who is presently deported from the United States. “I think him not being able to come to the States is gonna play a big part [in the record deal],” said Birdman, noting that the two had spoken on one or two occasions.
At present, Cash Money Records’ next release is slated to be Lil Wayne’s The Carter IV, which could be released as early as next month according to some reports.

Before Young Money/ Cash Money had the bright idea to sign Lil Bow Wow, Chuckee, Gudda Gudda and the rest of the 2 bit minstrel show, they should have signed YO GOTTI! Becuase all hating aside Yo Gotti does have marketable talent. If you haven’t listened to Yo Gottis COcaine Music Mixtapes 1- ? , then please do not comment on my comment and get lost.
i thought YO GOTTI drop an album on CMR.
damn them mixtapes go buy his album LIFE thats better the any of them cocaine mixtapes..
YO GOTTI fan since 03

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the interest in signing Shyne? All of his recent stuff has been straight garbage.
More further proof on why Shyne is a dumbass.
