Recap of CMG's press conference.
Collective Music Group: The Label was founded in 2012 by artist and entrepreneur, Yo Gotti. Fast forward 10 years, yesterday they hosted a press conference.
This press conference was based in Los Angeles, California. Just 6 days after CEO drops his double sided album, Free Game.
This conference was moderated by Billboard's Hip Hop editor, Carl Lamarre. CMG's starting five were in attendance for the conference. Est GEE, MoneyBagg Yo, 42 Dugg, JB Blockboy and of course coach Gotti.
First major announcement that was spoken on was a 42 Dugg and Est Gee collab project. Set to be dropping February 18th, 2022. Titled, "Last One's Left" is currently being finished and we were told to be ready for this project. Est Gee and 42 Dugg have been rising stars over the course of 2021. Both being featured on Billboards Rookie of the Month to having songs on each others projects, and just being in each others videos, the two star players define their chemistry comes naturally.
Est Gee just released his fifth body of work, Bigger Than Life or Death. Having features like the dynamic duo of Future and Thug, Lil Durk, Pooh Shiesty and more. Talking about the project on AudioMack, Gee says, "It's just telling you what's going on. And what I got going on right now is bigger than life or death. Can't nothing affect me or stop me. Even if I die, that ain't gonna do nothing but make me bigger. I'm not dying until I make a hundred million, make that two hundred million". The time debuted at number 7 on Billboard 200 with about 30,000 units. Louisville's own, The Yung Shinna.
42 Dugg feels like most people cant catch his drift. Bring from Detroit, Dugg has been seen all over since mid 2020. Dropping on both 4PF and CMG, Dugg came out with an entire line up of headliners. This project doesnt only include Maybach and 4 Da Gang, but features honorable mentions such as Roddy Rich, Fivio Forgein and Rowdey Rebel. This project debuted at number 8 on Billboards 200 on the charting week of May 29th, 2021.
Playmaker, Moneybagg Yo described being in his shoes as "" to the audience. Ending last year with the 16th best album to drop, moving over 1.1 million copies, Bagg is still in the studio. Gotti supports this statement by expressing that Bagg stays in the studio. So he will drop when hes ready. Top of January, Bred Money Gang's own touches base on his own Alkaline water line, Vior Water. Very Invigorating Oral Refreshment. Based out of Memphis, Tennessee. Bagg truly does bring the bagg to the table.
Following up with the discussions with the artists, Yo Gotti follows up to announce that Los Angeles's own, Mozzy will be joining CMG. Mozzy recently just dropped a project with Long Beach's finest, YG. Mozzy discusses the fact that this was a long time coming and he had to get his life together before it became reality. Tying up some loose ends and now they are finally here. Following this announcement, Mozzy and Roddy Ricch drop their latest single, Real Ones. Looking forward to see the elevation of Mozzys career now that hes on the roster.
The Champions truly are built for this. CMG really is the best camp out. Gotti is the best coach in the league. I cannot wait to see what 2022 has in store for everyone.
If you are an independent artist and would like a play, Gotti dropped the Dolla Fo' Dolla challenge. He gave everyone clearance. So go make your bread.
