			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once an artist that was given the support from Young Jeezy, West Coast artist Roccett has since stepped away from CTE and decided to go about things on his own.</p>
<p>Releasing a slew of mixtapes, including <em>Another Day, Another Dollar,</em> the rapper has built up anticipation for the big band, which comes in the form of his official street album, <em>The Free Agent. </em></p>
<p>With assistance from DJ Drama, the two will release the album to iTunes and all other digital online retailers this month.  Noted features include<span id="more-14320"></span> Bobby Valentino, Don Cannon, Terrace Martin and Drumma Boy.</p>
<p>“Bang That” and “My Real Ni**az," two tracks from the upcoming release, have already dropped to give a glimpse of what to look forward to on the first outing.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“We decided to go with the concept <em>The Free Agent</em> because I am an unsigned artist who feels like LeBron in his free agency year.  My options are open, everyone is anticipating who I am going to sign with, and I am excited to continue to feed the streets good music.  Our focus right now is growing the Get Your Green Up movement, expanding and reaching new audiences.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The rapper has been on his grind for quite some time and his patience has started to wear thin.  Speaking with <em>HipHopWired.com,</em> he spoke on wanting to create an actual album and step away from the mixtapes.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“I want to do an album because I feel like on mixtapes, I can't really give you everything except for me spitting.  There's records that I want to do, that I feel are good records, but they aren't meant for a mixtape.  If I do a song about my mom or my brother or my sister, I want that to be on the album. I feel like it's album work and I want to put that out.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>With such competition in the mixtape circuit, he also feels as though it is hard to gain recognition for the work put in.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“It's like people don't even respect you on a mixtape unless you do some crazy rap bars.  I'm ready to do an album so bad and I don't care how we put it out as long as we put it out and I get to put my feelings on wax and hopefully sell some records.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Well, the time has come to step up to the mound and show fans what he is made of.  He should be swinging to the fences with this one.</p>
