With the recent word that R&B artist Omarion and Philly’s own Freeway were heading to Cash Money Records, one can’t help to be be remembered of the early days of Bad Boy and Roc-A-Fella. The centerpiece of the situation is a young rapper who has the game on lock(Lil Wayne), and he is surrounded by good(not great) artists who can eat off the affiliation for a while. You mix in a few artists who used to be on their own, but now are getting with the “new hot movement”, and Young Money/Cash Money could become the next major force in the game.
When you look at Roc-A-Fella, the team of Jay-Z and Dame Dash carefully added artists to the label to broaden their reach, as Jay’s personal career rose. The same blueprint could be said of Wayne and Cash Money. With his affiliation with Drake, and artists like Nicky Manaj, Tyga,Gudda Gudda, and Jae Millz on the roster, the future is certainly bright. How big can the label get? That remains to be seen…
