Although Mystikal is officially down with YMCMB, he continues to put out music with Birdman's estranged ex-partner Mannie Fresh. Not sure if this will make the album, but it's definitely a nice addition.

Lloyd - Do It Again ft. Nelly

It seems like King Of Hearts just came out, but it looks like Lloyd is already making moves on his next album.  He links up with Nelly for the cheerful love song "Do It Again," which gives me a lot of the same vibes as "Cupid." Only this time, I don't picture a young boy band dancing and switching positions as they alternate solos.

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!
