After propelling Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga to massive heights of success, Young Money is preparing to take it back to where it all started. The roster is gearing up to release a new compilation album Young Money: Rise of an Empire, the follow-up to 2009’s gold-selling compilation We Are Young Money.
The set will arrive on March 11 featuring Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tyga, Shanell, Lil Twist, newly signed Christina Milian, and some of the label’s up-and-coming artists. The album is preceded by the new single ‘We Alright’ which features Lil Wayne, Birdman, and YMCMB’s newest signee Euro.
Speaking on the compilation COO Cortez Bryant stated:
“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. 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.”
