MEMPHIS BLEEK GOES INDIE WITH NEW ALBUM!

Former Roc-A-Fella rapper Memphis Bleek is returning to the rap game with a new album, record label and distribution deal. Memphis Bleek will release his fifth studio album titled The Process this November via a distribution deal between his own imprint, Get Low Records and Boston-based label Mass Appeal Entertainment. The Process, which is executive produced by Jay-Z, includes production by Just Blaze and No I.D., while guests that grace the album include Rick Ross, Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z and others. “The Process has been exactly that; a process.  Taking what I’ve learned from a teacher and creating my own school,” Memphis Bleek told AllHipHop in a statement. “It’s time for me to handle my own business as a man and Mass Appeal supports the vision. I’m ready to share The Process and Get Low Records with the world and along with Mass Appeal, I’m excited to take the next steps in my career independently.”

I guess we will see if he sinks or flies outside of Jay-Z’s shadow.  I always like his music.  Loved ‘Round Here’.  Best of luck to you fam. – VERSE
