After his long awaited and critically acclaimed debut in 2000 (“The Realness”), and his sophomore success in 2002 (“The True Meaning”), Cormega is readying his third LP for a late spring release. “The Legal Hustle” will drop May 11th on his own Legal Hustle label, which is distributed by Koch.
Look for this to be more of a “Cormega Presents” type album as it will be loaded with guest appearances as Mega tries to establish his label. “For this album, I decided to do collaborations with artists who are either close friends or artists who I respect,” Cormega said recently. “I always wanted to do a song with M.O.P. because they’re real. We talked about doing something together when I recorded The Realness in 2001, so when we had a chance to get into the studio, this time we made it happen.”
Expect to hear a lot from Legal Hustle’s first artist, Doña. “Doña is incredible! I can’t even explain how she rhymes,” Mega explained. “She’s the only artist – male or female – I’ve collaborated with that has made me go back and rewrite my verse after hearing theirs. When you hear her, you’re gonna be curious to see how she looks because she sounds like she’s real gutter and ugly.”
