Mannie Fresh Signs To Def Jam, Speaks On Weezy
Monday, April 2, 2007 By: Kenny Rodriguez
During a phone-in to New Orleans radio station Q93, Mannie Fresh announced he has signed to Def Jam Recordings and is working on several new projects, including new music from T.I., Juvenile, and Nas.
“I just did a deal with Jay-Z,” said the former Cash Money artist. “Dude reached out to me. He flew me up, we talked about it and they wrote something nice. It was a nice little proposal.”
“What made me take the deal is, they didn’t want me to only do this exclusive deal with them. They were like, ‘You can go do whatever it is you do.’ So my thing [at Def Jam] is to overlook the southern artists they have, as well as sign [new] artists.”
During the radio interview, Mannie also spoke about a conversation he recently had with former group member Lil Wayne about a month ago.
“We had some words. I asked him if he had a problem with me, because in all honesty, I never had a problem with him,” Fresh said.
“So I stepped to him like a man, like, ‘Dude, the problem is not with you, so don’t take sides that don’t got nothing to do with you. I got a problem with another man, it has nothing to do with you.’”
“[But] he said, at the time, he was trippin’ and he took sides. But he reached out for his new album, so hopefully we’re gonna put something together and do business.”
Additionally, Mannie also said he’s producing a song on T.I.’s upcoming album, and is planning on working with Nas in the next two weeks. He is also slated to produce most of Juvenile’s next LP.
