Old & New: MMG Artists With No Albums Under The Label

With Rick Ross at the head of the table, Maybach Music Group is one of the more popular crews in rap, without necessarily dropping a bunch of albums to sustain the tile. However, Rozay has worked hard to successfully hold a front row space in this crowded rap industry.

The Bawse is the biggest name on his imprint, but he has a small and strong roster of supporting cast members with room to grow. Ross founded  the label only five years ago, and has brought on more than a dozen rappers and singers formally and currently with MMG.

Among them, Ross, Wale, and, Meek are the best selling although none have platinum albums. So what about the rest of MMG? They’re definitely busy grinding as solo entities, and still manage to come together for a Self Made album every other year or so.

If the plan sticks, this year will bring about a good amount of new releases for MMG (aside from Meek and Wale), although  there’s not much time left in 2014.

Check out the past and present MMG artists who have yet to drop an album under the label, and a few extra shots in the gallery below.

Gunplay

Gunplay has been down with MMG for a few years now. He signed a solo deal with Def Jam in 2012, ran into some legal strife thereafter, and will drop Living Legends, his first studio release on MMG this year.

Messapike Miles

Boston native Messapike Miles and MMG severed ties more than a year ago, yet he’ll always be down with the clique.

Teedra Moses

New Orleans native Teedra Moses made a name for herself before Ross caught wind of her talents. She signed with MMG in 2011. Her long-awaited album, Cognac & Conversation, is set to be executive produced by Rozay and Raphael Sadiiq.

Omarion

Omarion is still at it. Maybe perfection takes time?

Rockie Fresh

2012 was the year MMG thickened up its roster and Rockie Fresh signed to the label that July. Mr. Fresh has been steady building his mixtape resume before he lets the full album out. He spoke to Hip-Hop Wired about the debut earlier  this year.

Tracy T

Atlanta rapper Tracy T is another fairly new edition to MMG building his mixtape buzz before he graduates to a studio release.  His The Wolf of All Streets mixtape came out in May.

Pill

Pill’s relationship with MMG was more on the unofficial side. In 2011 he blasted the label for not moving on his music projects, only to clarify that he never even signed to MMG to begin with.

Ohio MC Stalley has been riding with MMG for a minute now, but Honest Cowboy was an EP and we’re still waiting on a proper album.
