Birdman Calls Angie Martinez To Discuss Lil Wayne's Health

Over the weekend fans were in a panic as news that Lil Wayne suffered multiple seizures broke on TMZ. After multiple false reports and rumors that Wayne was in critical condition and barely hanging on at some point, Weezy's adopted father Birdman called in to Hot 97 to tell Angie Martinez what's really going on.

Listen to the interview below, as Baby claims that Lil Wayne is doing great and also claims that the drugs Weezy doesn't shy away from rapping about or displaying had no impact on his seizure.

Birdman-Angie Martinez Interview:

I'm glad to hear that Wayne seems to be doing alright, and I'm interested to see how this tragedy will unfold as he prepares to release his album I Am Not A Human Being 2.

Thanks to Birdman and Rick Ross's "Born Stunna," I may start saying "Money, money, money, money baaaaaags" almost as much as I shout "2 CHAAAAINZ." Diversify your ad-libs.

How did this collaboration come about? I guess Birdman and Mack Maine saw how popular Kendrick Lamar has become (just like Drake did) and reached out. Watch below as he leads off with an insane verse and then hands it off to Ace Hood, and the two Cash Money/Young Money honchos.

YMCMB Announces New Additions To Its Roster -- PJ Morton & Chris Richardson [VIDEO]

I'd heard a few rumors for the past month or so that Maroon 5's sixth man PJ Morton signed with Young Money Cash Money, but the New Orleans singer-songwriter formally announced his deal today, saying:

"I’m very happy to be a part of such a force in the music industry. Not only that, but a label that promotes being creative and being who you are,” an ecstatic Morton stated about the signing. “I couldn’t have asked for more." XXL

Also announced as a new member to the YMCMB family is former American Idol contestant Chris Richardson. Very smart to see that they're diversifying their assets and reaching out to dominate the Pop markets with Chris and Jay Sean. Check out the official PSA announcement video below!

Rick Ross - Rich Forever [New Mixtape]

When Rick Ross revealed the track listing to this mixtape, he surprised everyone.  Most people, myself included, thought the mixtape would just be Rick Ross rhyming over hit songs like the remixes he'd been releasing for the past few weeks.  WRONG.

The line up on Rich Forever is RIDICULOUS. All brand new tracks featuring everyone from John Legend and Nas to French Montana and Styles P. The wait is finally over, so look below to stream/download Rozay's prelude to God Forgives, I Don't!
