Twista Launches New Label, Preps Crew Album

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  32 Comments

Chicago veteran Twista has launched a new record label called the Get Money Gang, and he is preparing for the release of the imprint’s first project from the Speedknot Mobstaz. The Chicago based duo, which consists of MC’s Liffy Stokes and Mayz, notably appeared on Twista’s 1997 LP Adrenaline Rush. They released their debut album, Mobstability in 1998 and went on to tour with Twista and appear on a number of the rapidfire MC’s follow up albums. The Mobstaz latest project, Mobstability II: Nation Bizness will be distributed by KOCH Records and features appearances from Twista and Jim Jones. “The album is the streets just like the first one was,” says Mayz. “We don’t have to create a fake image; we just have to let our soul speak to the people.” Production duties on the project were handled by Chi-town producer Cuzzo and China White Productions.

    Get Money Gang?…..how original!

    tired of this bullshit

  • damn

    This dude is gonna flop. Everyone on his label is gonna flop. Two things may save his career
    1.) He creates a new dance and starts writing on his sunglasses with whiteout.
    2.) Like TIP said he gets a track produced by GOD featuring Jay-Z.

  • BK Cyph

    Twista should listen to Busta RHymes “Legends of the Fall Off”

    I am not gonna support a nigga just because he’s from the Chi, point blank Twista has fallen the fuck off, his last album was like a old ass jew-town polish (you older cats know what i’m talking bout) From here on out even if a nigga is from my town if his album is wack or his rap is wack, I am calling a nigga out. Wack albums makes the whole city come across ass booty:) I aint gonna be associated with shit that aint poppin. Fuck Twista, he hasnt had a good album since he stopped fucking with chitown producers. Common and Kanye are holding it down for the Chi, Twista? not so much:)
