Chief Keef is back to dropping new music. The Chicago rapper's been causing a stir ever since Kanye remixed his "I Don't Like" record, and his newest release "Tatted Like My Amigos," is an ode to inked up homies. The 16-year-old has yet to announce which label he will sign to, but if Birdman has his way, the young rapper will ink his name on a Cash Money contract.

Birdman Is Willing To Do “Whatever It Takes” To Sign Chief Keef

Latifah Muhammad — Fri, 04 May 2012 18:54:16 +0000

Chief Keef is officially having the best week ever. First, Kanye West dropped the remix to his “I Don't Like” record, and now Birdman is fighting to make him a Cash Money Millionaire. During an interview with MTV News, Weezy's “dad” revealed that he desperately wants the 16-year-old on his label. "I like him, he kinda reminds me of us,” he said. "[He's] out the streets, I think he's swagged up and I'm definitely talking to his people and I'd like to see if we can make it pop, see if I can see if I can get him to be down with the team.

“That's what I like, it's a movement and he's young, I think the game needs young blood all the time," he said. "[We] need youngsters to keep it innovative, because they're new and creative in their own way. I'm into the young world, that's my thing. And I'ma do whatever it takes to make it happen."

Keef hasn't decided where his label home will be. Rumor has it that Jeezy is also in competition to snag the Chicago rapper, but if he's really lucky, he might even end up being the latest member of the G.O.O.D. Music team.

Birdman Signs DJ Khaled's We The Best Label & Ace Hood To YMCMB [VIDEO]

Alvin aqua Blanco — Wed, 02 May 2012 14:16:43 +0000

Ace Hood must be the most blessed rapper ever.

Cash Money's Bryan "Birdman" Williams told MTV News that he has officially brought DJ Khaled's label into the YMCMB fold. "I'd like to let the world know that Khaled's brand, which is We the Best, is officially signed to YMCMB and the first act coming out that umbrella, which is Khaled's label, will be Ace Hood," Baby told MTV New's Sway Calloway. "I always wanted to have a chance to work with Ace Hood. I always wanted to have a chance to work with Ace Hood."

Ace Hood's first three albums were released by We The Best, but distributed by Def Jam Records. The switch to YMCMB is a lateral move when considering Def Jam and Cash Money are both distributed by Universal Records. Nevertheless, Baby believes in Ace Hood's talents since now the Miami rapper is officially aligned with Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj.

Watch the rest of the interview below.

Birdman Talks Cash Money Films Movie, Rich Gang Starring Lil Wayne

Kazeem Famuyide (@RealLifeKaz) — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:02:43 +0000

The YMCMB empire continues to grow under the watchful eye of Bryan "Birdman" Williams. While the record label has spawned out to clothing and books, it seems that the #1 Stunna has set his sights on film. During an interview with XXL at the release party for Cash Money Content author Wahida Clark's book Payback Ain't Enough, Birdman revealed to XXL that he plans to release the "2012 version of Baller Blockin."

“We start shooting that in the fall. That's the whole team," Birdman told the publication. "The Rich Gang movie is about the team. Everybody is going to be the star of it, but (Lil) Wayne will be the center of it. It's about the team, everybody that's on the label."

When asked about what type of roles the YMCMB artists will be playing, it didn't seem like it would be a real stretch from an acting standpoint. "I would like them for just be themselves. I'm not gonna tell no ni**a to go to acting school," says Stunna. "Just be yourself. We're excited as a brand about it. Tyga, everybody is like, ‘Stunna, let's do a movie.' We got a few of them lined up and we gonna shoot them.”
