6 Reasons Lil Boosie Is Ready To Release An Album

August 7, 2014 - 3:48 pm by Chris Yuscavage

When Lil Boosie announced that he was releasing a new album in 2014, we have to admit: We were skeptical. The last time Boosie was a free man, people were still running around with second-generation iPhones. We thought that if he chose to rush his next project out, it would for sure make him and his music sound outdated.

It's damn-near impossible to disappear from the rap scene for six years and then just pick up right where you left off. However, Boosie Bad Azz has regained our confidence in recent months, thanks to songs like "Show da World," "Heart of a Lion," and, most recently, his latest single, "Crazy."

Rather than hop on the latest rap trends, Boosie has continued to craft songs for the streets, and clearly he knows where his bread is buttered. We're beginning to think he's more than ready to release his new project, Touchdown 2 Cause Hell, next month.

Reason #1: Boosie has had more than enough time to get back into the studio to record a ton of new music. When he was first released, Boosie bragged that he had more than 500 songs on a hard drive that had never been heard by the world. And while that's great, it made us a little nervous because we thought he was going to take those songs and try and package them as a new album. But now that it's clear that he's had time to get back into the studio, we know that he'll have fresh material on his project as opposed to older stuff. Photo Credit: Getty Images

Reason #2: Boosie has built up his buzz again through a series of street singles. Boosie very easily could have dropped a project immediately after getting out of jail and let that propel him to success. He likely would have sold quite a few albums, too, since it's been awhile since his last album. But rather than do that, he's taken a few months to build his buzz organically by dropping new tracks and it's caught the attention of a lot of his fans. Photo Credit: Getty Images

Reason #3: "Crazy" sounds just as crazy as its title would indicate. "Crazy" is actually every bit as crazy as you would think, and it features Boosie getting pretty personal. But at the same time, the hook is catchy and the production is solid enough to make us believe that it could be something that we hear on the radio soon. We'd imagine Boosie has another radio single lined up as well, but for now, "Crazy" should keep Boosie in steady rotation. Photo Credit: Getty Images

Reason #4: Boosie is getting the hang of touring again. When you sit behind bars for years, we imagine that it takes some time to get used to traveling all the time again like Boosie is doing right now. But he's done enough shows since being released to be ready to take on the busy schedule that will come along with releasing a new album. It's go time—and Boosie is already on the move.

Reason #5: Boosie is staying out of trouble. Boosie has endured his fair share of legal battles over the course of the last decade. Hopefully, they're in the past. But they definitely have to be in the past for the next few months. Because the last thing that Boosie can afford is to get into any more trouble when he's right in the middle of trying to promote a new project. Photo Credit: Getty Images

Reason #6: If Boosie still plans on releasing a second album in 2014, it's now or never for his first post-prison release. Even though Boosie hasn't even put Touchdown 2 Cause Hell out yet, he's already gone on the record and announced that he wants to put out two albums in 2014. That could change, since T2CH has already been delayed once. But if he still plans on trying to release two projects, he better be ready to release the first one soon. And from what we've seen and heard lately, he definitely is. Photo Credit: Getty Images
