Maybach Music Group Presents Self Made Vol. 1 (Tracklist)

First off, shouts to fellow NRFer Stalley for signing to Maybach Music Group (via RR).  That’s a boss move and a good look right there. With that said, it doesn’t look like the Ohio emcee made the final cut to make an appearance on the Maybach Music Group Self Made album that’s dropping on May 24th but I’m sure he’ll pop up on an iTunes bonus song or two.

The rest of the Self Made album looks beastly though.  Judging off this tracklist and production credits it looks like these 19 new tracks will be going hard.  Beats are made courtesy of Just Blaze, Lex Luger, Cardiak, Jahlil Beats, The Inkredibles, DJ Toomp, and verses from Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill, Pill, Diddy, Drake, J. Cole, Curren$y, and others will all appear on the album.
