Despite the bad news regarding Beanie Sigel's upcoming two year prison sentence on tax evasion charges, fans will be able to enjoy a new project from the rapper before he goes in this September.
The former Roc-A-Fella spitter will be dropping the album This Time in August via Ruffhouse Records and EMI Label Services. The first single, "The Reunion," is scheduled to hit radio stations this week.
Ruffhouse Records CEO Chris Schwartz released a statement yesterday regarding the new album and the label's support of Beanie.
“We’re extremely proud to be re-launching Ruffhouse Records with Beanie Sigel as our first artist. His sentencing today doesn’t change any of that in the least. Regardless of this unfortunate situation, Beanie has created a tremendous body of work that is totally worthy of the Ruffhouse name. It’s almost ironic this is happening on the eve of this record, because this record is about introspection and redemption. Beanie is truly one of the great lyricists in the hip-hop game. He stands tall among all the major MCs and is revered by hip-hop aficionados around the world.”
Beanie had also been scheduled to record an album with Scarface, but that project looks like it might be on hold indefinitely.
