Memphis, Tennessee rapper Yo Gotti has been a staple in the independent Hip Hop community for the last decade. Although he’s achieved success with the now defunct label TVT Records, the rapper, who was among the first to release material with Nicki Minaj, has yet to have a major label album.
Now signed to J Records, Gotti will hope to change this on December 21, 2010. Live From The Kitchen is has been announced, by Amazon, to release then. The release was once said to have production from Drumma Boy and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.
Less than a year ago, Gotti told HipHopDX, “My main focus with the album is to try and make it a classic. I worked with so many producers [that] I can’t even remember all of them. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, [DJ] Toomp, Drumma Boy, Cool & Dre, and a whole bunch of up and coming producers. I got a track with Rick Ross, I got a track with Lil Wayne. I’ve recorded close to 100 songs, and we’re only going to pick 16 for this project so we’ve been putting in a lot of work.”

UPDATE: Yo Gotti has released the album cover for his oft-delayed album, Live from the Kitchen, due later this year (via HHNM).

UPDATE #2: A spokesperson for Yo Gotti revealed that Live From The Kitchen will release on January 10, 2012 on RCA/Polo Grounds Music. The album delayed for nearly two years will reportedly feature Big K.R.I.T., 2 Chainz and production from Shawty Redd, among others.

And in other news who gives a fuck!!!! Yo gotti will be just another trap rapper swept under the rug after his stupid debut flop like limp cock. I can’t belive the kinda faggets J .U.S.T.I.C.E. League works with!! There beats are to top tier for washed up fools like 2pistol (remeber him?!!) and Rick false!!!
I hope this nigga get sell 1 copy ( the one the label will buy) and then gets locked up for life!!!!!!

My homeboy about to blow fosho!!! It’s my boy Gotti time to shine!
As much as I want to see Yo Gotti succeed, this LP has all the earmarkings of a tax write-off. 5 Star (orginal) came out during spring ’09, 5 Star (remix) came out fall of ’09 and Women Lie, Men Lie came out the winter of ’09. Whatever singles that are going to come out are not going to get pushed as hard as the ones that have been mentioned.
Also why would you release a major label debut album that close to Christmas, knowing more established artist are going to get released around that time.
Lucciano Crime Family’s own! I met that dude (briefly) some years back when he was just graduating High School. He (and his team) have fought long and hard to get where they are and they deserve every single ounce of success and then some!
I’m not sure this article is completely accurate when they said he’s been a staple for a decade. Carlos & Bay were working with this cat since he was 14. To my recollection, Yo Gotti had already put out 4 independent albums (and featured on several more) by 2000.
Bottom Line: This Cat is the real deal and I hope J Records gives him a fair shot and cranks that radio promotion for him. It’s time for “The Machine” to do it’s thing!
Memphis Up!

thats wassup we been rockin with the homie gotti since back da basic & life albums GOTTI aint new..
I’m surprised all these niggas are co-signing for this guy. Listen, I know that basically every rapper is frontin’ to different degrees, but Yo Gotti is THE FAKEST of all the fake gangsters in rap. If you met this dude, then heard what he raps about, you would fall out of your fuckin’ chair. This kid is really getting in over his head with the super-hustler shit, and he’s gonna get exposed.
