When Young Buck announced he’d formed his own label, Cashville Records, in September of 2006, he had yet to drop his 2nd LP Buck The World, and many still viewed him as the one G-Unit soldier who could restore the crew to prominence. But the project’s release was halted many times, and while it was almost universally praised by critics and die hard rap fans when it finally dropped, the album failed to connect on a grand scale with a wider variety of listeners. Still, that didn’t keep Buck down, and people were wondering what was going on with Cashville Records. Prior to the album dropping, he told Vibe.com, “It’s a bidding war with a lot of different companies trying to get a piece of what I’m doing. [50 Cent] wants me to build my label up to where G-Unit Records is as a company, if not surpass it…. I wanted to bring my own brand to the table.”
Now Buck’s finally set to make a move. He recently announced a distribution deal with Sony Red Distribution for Cashville, and is partnering with former G-Unit President Sha Money XL to launch the label. In an interview with Hiphopdx.com, Sha said that the first release from the label will be a compilation album featuring Young Buck, his new group 615 (Lil’ Murderand Hi-C), Sacramento based rapper C-Bo, and former 2pac proteges, The Outlawz.
