Kanye curates GOOD Music compilation
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 19 January 2012
A fresh consignment of artists involved in a new compilation by Kanye West’s GOOD Music collective has been named, with Def Jam MC Mannie Fresh, R&B femme Marsha Ambrosius and Odd Future’s Frank Ocean amongst the latest participants to be confirmed.
Rapper and GOOD associate Big Sean was first to discuss this project back in November, saying: “Kanye was like: ‘Yo, we got the illest people in the world on one label’. I’ve been telling him: ‘We need to do a group thing, a group album’. So, we’re going to [each] have singles. It’s going to be a real ass album. It’s going to be nuts – it’s almost done”.
The collaborative venture is not quite done yet though, according to former Clipse rapper Pusha-T, who revealed earlier this week that he’d been recording a track in London with Frank Ocean. He also said things like “I’m a car hoe”, but we’ll disregard them. A subsequent tweet from Pusha also outed hip hop artist Jay Electronica as being part of the project, a claim echoed by English singer Marsha Ambrosius, who posted: “In the studio with Frank Ocean, Big Sean, Pusha-T, Mannie Fresh… Kanye West is on the way!”.
So there you have it, lots of hip hop types collaborating on a music thing in sweet, ostentatious harmony. No one has blabbed yet as to when this joint album might be released, but it’s safe to assume that’ll happen at some point before the end of this century.
