With their extensive rosters, Cash Money and Young Money have a number of artists who have never released a project with the two famed imprints. According to one of those artists, Watts, California’s Glasses Malone and his management, 2011 may introduce a number of new artists for the labels.
Yesterday, a document was photographed and tweeted, reportedly from Cash Money’s CEO/co-founder Birdman, with the labels’ plans for the second and third quarter of 2011.

“This is one of the best case scenarios for me to release my album, as I still have my major support, but without the pressure of a major label to produce a radio single. Cash Money and Suburban Noize [Records] have given me full creative control over every aspect of this album’s release, so I can keep it 117% gangsta for the fans,” said Glasses Malone in a statement. “This is heaven and the deejay is playing nothing but Beach Cruiser all day, every day! Get ready to cop that album on August 30th, 2011 baby!”
Birdman, Ronald “Slim” Williams and Mack 10 will remain executive producers of the album.
