Slick Pulla To Be Released From Prison Soon, Planning New Albums

Incarcerated rapper Slick Pulla will be released from prison to a halfway house at the beginning of next year.

 

The rapper, who has been locked up since early 2007 on a probation violation, is part of Young Jeezy’s USDA (United Streets Dope Boyz Of America), which will drop a new album in early 2010.

“All this situation did was set me up to really get focused and come back to really give the people what they need,” Slick Pulla said last week during a conference call organized by RapStarPromo.com. “I need to be out there giving the streets what they need, good yams, instead of being in here. So it’s going to be a lovely situation. A minor set back for a major come back.”

USDA’s latest single “Bag Music” hit the Internet earlier this week, giving fans a glimpse of the upcoming project, which is a follow up to their 2007 album Cold Summer.

“This album is not about just laying down another compilation of different lyrical creativity, but more about letting the streets know that USDA is still united strong and fierce in that same branded Corporate Thuggin Way,” Young Jeezy said in a press release about the new USDA album.

In addition to Slick Young Jeezy, group members JW, Boo Rossini, Blood Raw and 211 make appearances on the untitled album.

Although he has been incarcerated for over two years, Slick Pulla said his USDA group members have been keeping him involved in their projects and playing new music for him, as he awaits his return to the rap game.

“You can be dumb and make the same mistakes or you can take the situation and make your mind stronger,” Slick Pulla said. “Cats in here are more focused on what they wanna do. When you’re on the streets you got so much going on, but in here you can focus on what you wanna do. Cat’s just wanna get down and execute.”

In early 2010, Slick Pulla will be released to a halfway house. If all goes well, he could be home as early as Summer of 2010.

“Once you get to the halfway house, you can work,” Slick Pulla said. “I am trying to get it to where I can go to the studio to work. And if I do good there, I get that weekend pass and then I’ll be able to work.”

 

Young Jeezy Prepping New U.S.D.A. Album

remember when they were speaking the names of Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, with it all relating to Hip-Hop? For those that weren’t part of that circle, Young Jeezy was able to utilize his fixation with the drug game and these popular celebrities to describe that “White Girl” with his group U.S.D.A. Since their 2007 album, Cold Summer (The Authorized Mixtape), the ranks of the CTE label has enlisted new soldiers for the army. Along with Slick Pulla and Blood Raw, Jeezy now has the likes of Boo Bossini, 211 and JW on his squad and he plans to showcase them with the release of a new group album. With no mention of a release date as of yet, the group released the single “Bag Music” to serve as a warm-up before the true bout begins. The upcoming release has, however, been given mention to go out in early 2010. “This album is not about just laying down another compilation of different lyrical creativity, but more about letting the streets know that U.S.D.A. is still united strong and fierce in that same branded Corporate Thuggin Way,” stated Young Jeezy. As with every other group in rap, each went their separate ways in order to pursue a lifestyle as a solo artist as Jeezy did when he left from Boyz N Da Hood. As with most things, a person should be willing to let go and if it comes back, then it is where it needed to be. Member Slick Pulla has been incarcerated since 2007 on a probation violation, but is on the verge of being released to a halfway house at the top of the new year. And for those that are still salivating in anticipation to return to class and get a lesson in Thug Motivation: 103, the album is slated to hit around the time of the group album. So far, features have included Jay-Z, Ludacris, Kanye West, Fabolous and many more heavy hitters. “Trap or Die II,” “I Got This” and “Biggest Movie Ever” have all dropped and are expected to be on Jeezy’s fourth helping. Looks like class will be back in session 2010.
