Mannie Fresh is one of the most well known and respected producers in the game. He was responsible for almost all of Cash Money Records early hits. "Bling Bling," "The Block Is Hot," "Go DJ," "Ha," "Back That Azz Up" and countless other songs that put the record label on the map were all produced by Mannie. Now a free agent the New Orleans native might have found a new recording home.

He sat down with HipHopDX recently to talk about his future plans. While he was hesitant to reveal too much, he did mention that he has been in talks with Kanye West G.O.O.D Music label.

DX: Going back to that [tour] clip, you’re seen in there giving a nice little motivational speech to the G.O.O.D. Music fam. So does this mean you’re officially G.O.O.D. Music in-house yourself now?

Mannie Fresh: Well, we working that out. I’m kind of funny about signing with people. Dude, I’ve been through so much. And I’m not saying I think Kanye is a bad person, but I can’t tell you what that is right now. It’s really on me, and what space I’m in. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t do it, but it’s gotta be something that makes sense for me.  

DX: Was any sort of formal offer put forward, or any extending of the hand saying “If you want to, come on”?

Mannie Fresh: I can’t really say if [there was]. It’s one of them things where – Let me just put it like this, Kanye is kinda mysterious about the things that he do. And I can’t really let no cats out the bag. I’m sorry to give you an answer like that, but I can’t really say what’s in the works. Y’all just gotta wait to see what happens.

To read the rest of the interview head over to HipHopDX.

Would joining G.O.O.D Music be a good look for Mannie?

With the ink barely dry on her new contract with Interscope Records, Iggy Azalea is already having to make big decisions about her debut album, The New Classic. T.I. has reached out to the Australian rapper to see if he can executive produce the project.

"T.I.'s gonna be helping me with it, kind of A&R-ing, kind of executive producing," Azalea told MTV. "He called me up like, 'Please?' and I was like, 'Definitely. You're Tip; I love you, of course.' So he's gonna be helping me out. Just reaching out to people and helping me find production and pointing me in the direction of things that I might like. We're going to start on that next week."

It's obviously a big decision for Iggy. Her album will be the first time a lot of hip hop fans will hear her music even though she has been gaining national attention from her mixtape, Ignorant Art.

She and Tip will begin work on the project very soon.

"We'll probably start next week," she said. "I'll probably fly out to Atlanta and we'll do it there because he's weird with traveling and stuff. Hopefully that will be really dynamic and help speed things along. In terms of writing the record, that's not the part that really worries me; that's easy, It's finding the production and finding something cohesive that's right for the direction of the album. It could happen next week or I might go until the end of February and not find it. You just never know when you're gonna have that magic."

The New Classic is due out in June.

Drake released this video yesterday via his OctobersVeryOwn blog spot. It features a thick female dancing to "Practice." A track off of his platinum selling "Take Care" album. It initially looks like some random clip the young lady put together until Drizzy walks in near the end and gives her a big hug. While not the official video we're pretty sure most guys won't hate on it.

Drake is asking his female fans to submit videos of themselves dancing to his tune. It's not clear if the winner will appear in an official video for the track or if Drake just wants to see how many sexy ladies will actually send videos in.

Ladies if you're interested head over to Drake's website for information on how to submit your "Practice" video.
