MORE: Chopper City Records in conjunction with KOCH Entertainment has confirmed the July 27th release of "Life After Cash Money," the new studio effort from former Cash Money/Hot Boys member, B.G. "Life After Cash Money" is the follow up to B.G.'s Chopper City Records/KOCH Records debut, "Livin' Legend." The album is nearly gold. To date, B.G. has sold over 6 million albums.

As a member of the Hot Boys, B.G. released classics like "Get It How U Live" and "Guerilla Warfare." He went on to establish himself as a successful solo artist with standout albums like "Chopper City," "It's All On You (Vol 1 & Vol 2)," "Chopper City In The Ghetto," "True Story" and "Checkmate." "Chopper City In The Ghetto" spawned his now legendary hit, "Bling, Bling" (now a common catch-phrase recently immortalized in the Oxford Dictionary).

Life After Cash Money features 18 new songs with featured appearances from close friend and fallen comrade Soulja Slim, Goodie Mob's Big Gipp, Gar, The Ying Yang Twins, T.I., brother Hakim and much more. The release boasts production from Medacine Men/KLC (Ludacris, Mystikal, Master P). The album's first single will be in the incendiary, "I Want It." The track was produced by DJ Smurf of Ying Yang Twins fame. The song is currently going for adds at radio. A video for the single, lensed by Washington D.C. director Phenomenon (Master P, DMX), is currently in video rotation.
