Noreaga is back. With a new album on the way, he recently spoke about what to expect.
His new album title suggests an enviornmentally aware cause. However, it is simply a representation of his varying styles. Global Warming 11368. According to reports, it is a nod to the various sounds around the world (such as Reggaeton) and his old hood’s zip code.
Producers are already on board for this project. Swizz Beatz, The Neptunes and T-Pain are already confirmed. Just don’t expect the same old T-Pain.
“I think I got the first T-Pain record without him using the voice-box thing,” he told MTV. “The dude can actually sing without it. That’s his trademark, so I guess he’s sticking with it. But I didn’t care what he gave me. I was a big T-Pain fan before he blew up, so I was just excited, and he did it in such a prompt time. He got it right back to me. He’s just a real person. He said he wanted to work with me, I said I wanted to work with you. So I referenced the hook [for him], and he sent it right back to me. He really kept it real. So big up to him for that.”
So, what about the label situation?
“I know that people know I’m a free agent, but when they see me with T.I. I was just kicking it with him on the ‘Make It Rain’ video set the next day it says [on the Internet], ‘He’s with Grand Hustle!’ It’s powerful, man…Maybe the rumors will help us talk about it later…But I want to do it on my own. I really want to take a chance. I’mma go out there and bug out. If I fall on my face, I don’t got anyone to blame but me. If I get up and get next to God [it’s so good], like he’s in 15A and I’ll be on 14B, then I can take credit for that. I’m only 29, but I feel like I’m too old in this game to be a person to complain about record labels. So I’mma go out there and get mine.”
For now, he is still a free agent. His new LP is scheduled to drop in late Summer.
