Billy Blue has taken the road less traveled and made his beginnings with the infamous Poe Boy Music Group alongside Brisco. He is officially signed under joint contracts with Mosley Music and KonLive through Interscope.

Recently Blue explained to the fans what his debut album entitled ‘The Story of My Life’ will include and what to expect:

“It’s about being you. Spitting what you lived, telling people, ‘I’m just like you. I’m an ordinary nigga, had a 9-to-5. I sold drugs, went to jail, been on parole, [have] fucked up baby mamas. I been through it like everybody in the world been through it. This world is ours. Let’s make it happen.”

Ballgreezy

Greezy added his own comments about the slew of artists that flock the city limits showcasing that Miami is full of untapped talent:

“Everybody got their own circle, the big dogs, but down here, we got our own circle too. You’re standing with the best. Dade County. We’re beating down the streets. If you ain’t hearing Brisc, you hearing [Ice] Berg. If you ain’t hearing Berg, you hearing [Billy] Blue. If you ain’t hearing Blue, you hearing Ball. You hearing somebody. We’re doing it.”

Carol City Cartel’s Gunplay

GP came blasting onto the scene with set of his own guns as Rick Ross’ ‘Deeper than Rap’ included a track entitled by his namesake. On that track he made his presence extremely felt as the introduction was quite necessary. The Big Boss himself co-signs Gunplay as the original Carol City Cartel member next to that of his brethrens Torch and newcomer Young Breed. MTV calls him the Fire starter that is on a collision course for greatness.

Gunplay paid homage to the Boss for laying out the path for him to take to be where he is today and tomorrow:

“I’m emulating the great, I’m watching all his moves. I took notes. Three years in this game now, I’m seeing exactly how to be a boss from behind the scenes. Naturally, that’s just gonna be what I’m gonna be. It’s gonna come natural.”

Iceberg

The son of Miami has been making a name of himself since a young age. The name Iceberg is synonymous with that of the Dunk Ryders and his claim to fame came with the group especially with the assistance from Trick Daddy. He is the self-acclaimed livest artist within his city limits. Berg has been co-signed by particularly every heavyweight artist amongst the industry. Co-creator of the hit anthem ‘Fuck the Other Side,’ a collection of street hits have emerged after that certified banger became a nationwide success.

Berg until this day speaks very highly of his mentor, Trick Daddy, especially the work ethic that he puts into his music. He added his own comments about the Mayor of Miami:

“With him, its pressure, that’s the big homie. He’s gonna put a lot of pressure on you, whether you’re in the studio or not. I love him to death, though. I’ve been around him three or four years now. You still get the heebie-jeebies working with him, but that’s him. He’s the legend.”

Miami’s new class has emerged over the years and will continue to carry the torch for the city that never sleeps. You need to definitely look out for these artists as they are ticking time bombs on the verge of international stardom. Their debut albums will be released shortly to progress their career further into the future.

50 Cent to Release ‘War Angel’ Street Album

New York, NY – Just when you thought Aftermath already had projects laid out in front of them, 50 hits his fans with a street album before the release of ‘Before I Self Destruct.’ It seems as though he can’t get enough of the limelight as he is quite eager to release music even as an unofficial LP. Apparently, a street album has already been complete for immediate release with track listing and all. Is he trying to outshine his mentor and label brethren Eminem?

The G-Unit General recently phoned into MTV News providing details about the upcoming street album he has promptly entitled ‘War Angel LP.’ In light of the recent release of Ron Howard’s ‘Angels & Demons,’ what better than to tie in his latest LP with the controversial film.

These were his subtle comments about the upcoming project:

“I’m finnin’ to get on the street; you already know what time it is. The tagline for the project is ‘Prepare for Total Destruction.’ You know what it is; it’s a conflict, the exact opposite. I didn’t want to write Angel Demon. It’s not the contrast between good and bad. But … if someone’s at war, I’m sure they’re saying their prayers. They believe they have angels around them. What would you call an angel around a soldier at war?”

His rendition and answer to that would be that of ‘War Angel:

“That’s why I titled it that, creatively; this is not even a mixtape. That’s why I put LP next to it. My core audience will understand it immediately, and it’s written specifically for that. You’re gonna see, I think if you don’t identify when you’ve won a race, you’ll continue to run victory laps until you’ve exhausted yourself. There’s nothing else to win in the Rick Ross situation. There’s nothing else to do to that guy from my perspective.”

Apparently, the feud between the Boss and the General has since been resolved, question now is, who will 50 be targeting next, if any?

“It’s not a specific target, a specific person, I’m writing about, when you hear it, out of all the material I put on the street, you’re gonna say that’s the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period. The way the mood of music is right now, when they hear what this is, they’ll say, ‘That’s what we needed.'”

And just when you thought 50 was done, it seems as though this is just the beginning:

“I have two other tapes to follow it, Fourth of July, ‘Sincerely Southside, pt 2’ coming out with mostly ’90s music on it. Timeless music, classic hit records. Then, after that, there’s a G-Unit mixtape. It’s actually untitled. I’ll be finished with it in the next day or so.”

Here is the official track listing of the ‘War Angel LP,’ according to 50 Cent:
