Birdman Maps Out YMCMB Takeover. Plans 16 Album Releases in 2012.

Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman is planning to take 2012 by storm with the release of nearly 20 albums by the third quarter.

Birdman plans to put out new music ranging from rapper Bow Wow's Cash Money debut to Young Money star Nicki Minaj's sophomore LP.

Baby's ambition is clear: the flamboyant Cash Money CEO wants to release 16 albums under the YMCMB umbrella within the first six months of this year. "I think bringing Fred [Durst] and Limp Bizkit to the team gives us a different look," Birdman says. "We dominate rap, but we're also trying to grow in different areas; Pop, rock, gospel, country."

Already, there's a rash of artists under the YMCMB umbrella with music on the way. Bow Wow's, Underrated, LP and Lil Twist's, Don't Get It Twisted drop a week apart on March 13 and March 20, respectively, while Nicki Minaj's, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is slated for April 3. New albums from Busta Rhymes and Mystikal--also new YMCMB signees--have summer release dates as well. (XXL Mag)
