With the announcement of Lil Wayne’s I Am Not A Human Being EP being released on September 27th (Weezy’s 28th B’day) the Young Money camp were quick to announce that Tha Cater IV will be released on the date Lil Tunechi is due to be released from Rikers island.

“Tha Carter IV plans we had and still have are to put Tha Carter IV out the day he comes out [of prison],” Mack told MTV News. “He had so many songs for Tha Carter IV, we said let’s just put these 10 songs out [on I Am Not a Human Being] and double-back for Tha Carter IV. He has more songs for Tha Carter IV that are still strong.”
Though we are all in anticipation for Tha Cater IV I do feel that we have been overloaded some what with a host of Lil Wayne material. He has been in Jail for about 5 months now but it seems as if he hasn’t gone anywhere.
Personally I’d like to see the record drop early next year with a big promotional campaign because releasing the album the day of his release with no single to come out before its release just doesn’t seem to cut it for me. Plus Nicki Minaj is set to release her debut album in November so maybe it would be a good idea for the YMCM crew to let her have that month to herself. What do y’all think?
Rihanna Sets Release Date For New LP
Last week I told you that Rihanna, Yin’s future ex wife/babymama, has a new single on the way. I can now confirm that the single is titled ‘Only Girl’ and it is set to hit UK radio stations August 31st. With the news of a new single buzz surrounding the release of her next studio album has started to generate.
November 2nd is the tentative release date for the as yet untitled album. 9months have barely past since the release of her darker toned ‘Rated R’ so it is a little surprising to learn that a whole new release is due so soon. If they were to be releasing a Rated R deluxe edition I wouldn’t be surprise at all but I guess either the sales of Rated R were not as hoped or the new music just didn’t fit the tone of RR to warrant it being linked with the project.
It has been stated that this new LP will see the return of a more up-tempo, dance, brighter feel similar to, probably the only major hit from the last album, ‘Rude Boy’.
In any event I’m sure Rihanna stans will be bowled over by the news of a new album and will no doubt be queuing up to purchase when it drops. I will be waiting and reserve judgement until I have her Only Girl and the follow up single which will be release nearer the release of the album. I think Rihanna is definitely one of those artists that can release catch singles but I’m not sure yet if she can deliver a stellar album, a complete body of work. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Kelly Rowland Names New Album
After having trouble naming her 3rd studio album due to be release in the fall, my girl Kelly Rowland enlisted the help of her fans to help give the LP a title. After much deliberation and a previously selected titled of Kelly Rowland shot down in flames, the new title of the album is…..
One Woman Show
This name could change by the time the album is released but for now we are lead to believe that this is the title. What do y’all think? What would you like to see her call the record?
Chris Brown Readies New Single
Following the success of ‘Deuces’ from the Fan Of A Fan mixtape, Chris Brown is set to unleash another hit. Today will see the premier of the video for the next single from the mixtape ‘Ain’t Thinkin’ Bout You’ featuring Bow Wow
I am glad that this track is getting single treatment as I do feel it is one of the better tracks from the mixtape however I will be pissed should ‘No Bullshit’ and ‘Like A Virgin Again’ not be given the same treatment as I feel that those two songs are sure fire winners.
Its seems as though Mr brown has got his mojo back and is ready to take this music game by the neck. He is back and he is letting us all know.
“I’ve came to the conclusion that ima put out so much good music that you’ll hate to love me”
Diddy Dirty Money New Song
I thought I’d end today’s Music News Weekly with a new track. Diddy has been forever tryna release his new album ‘Last Train To Paris’ but has never stuck to the multiple release dates set. With all the delays it’s a wonder if the album will ever see the light of day, whilst he has been playing around with dates tracks have been leaking and ‘Love You No More’ is one of those leaked tracks.
This song features man of the moment drizzy Drake. We also get to hear the beautiful tones of miss Dawn Richard be a prominent feature rather than just a background. Something I have been longing to hear for a while. Take a listen to the smooth track below. (This is one of those tracks that is well suited to being played at a lower volume whilst typing Y&Y’s weekly news update. I am bopin’ my head as I type.)
