Lil Twist Ft. Lil Wayne – Love Affair (Video)

I know Cash Money / Young Money is trying to appeal and reach that 12-16 year old teenage girl market with Lil Twist but isn’t that what Drake is for?  If it wasn’t for the Wayne co-sign, Lil Twist would still be grinding on his MySpace music page.  No hate though, it is what it is and good for him being in the Young Money position that he is.

Get Ready For A YMCMB Hot Summer!

Look at this picture that’s floating around the web today!  It looks like Birdman is gearing up for “a hot summer” of YMCMB releases starting with Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV on May 24th and ending with Drake’s Take Care album on September 13th.  Obviously all of these dates are tentative and nothing is set in stone.  Also obvious is that no one cares about the June 7th – July 5th YMCMB releases.

June 7: Bow Wow
June 14: G Malone & Brisco
June 21: Lil Twist

• Who is Fred The Godson?
• How much did Young Money pay to have Lil Twist on the cover?
• Snubs – XV, Vado, Dom Kennedy, and a few others.
