Drake may still be in the middle of promoting his 2013 album, Nothing Was The Same,  and fans are eagerly anticipating new albums from Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne, but fans of the collective group, Young Money, appear to have major treat coming their way. The Young Money camp is reportedly working on a new compilation album called Young Money: Rise Of An Empire.

According to allhiphop.com:

“This compilation is a very special release for the label. We Are Young Money helped launch the careers of our first generation of acts with Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga,’ says Young Money COO Cortez Bryant of the project’s 2009 predecessor. ‘Even though we’ve been honored with accolades as a company, our hunger hasn’t diminished or dwindled. We’re hungrier than ever, and we’re still building. That goes hand-in-hand with the title, Young Money: Rise Of An Empire. We’re not going anywhere. We don’t plan on stopping— ever. Our goal is the expansion of this empire with the next generation of kings and queens ruling.'”

The album singles will feature Drake’s “Trophies,” which didn’t make the cut of his current album, and Lil Wayne and Birdman’s “We Alright.”

Young Money: Rise of an Empire is set for release on March 11 and will feature Birdman, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga, Shanell, Gudda Gudda, Christina Milian, Lil Twist and recent YMCMB signee Euro.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
