Beanie Sigel is a man with a lot on his mind lately. Since being released from prison last month, he’s had to deal with the break up of his former label Roc-a-Fella Records and former crew State Property. Sigel is now looking to the future, and he’s got a lot to say.
Like many rappers coming home from prison, Sigel is ready to hit the studio to work on his next project. In the past, he’s spit over beats from in house producers Just Blaze and Kanye West, this time Mac Man is looking to work with Dr. Dre protégé Scott Storch and Mannie Fresh.
“I like Mannie Fresh’s energy,” he told MTV.com. “I’m feeling him. I wanna sit down and build with him. I just don’t want a track from him. I wanna sit down and me and him create what we do.”
Sigel found himself at career crossroad after Jay Z and Damon Dash parted ways, splitting up Roc-a-Fella Records. Early reports linked Sigel with the new Damon Dash Music Group, but he says otherwise. Refusing to choose sides, Sigel chose neither and ventured out on his own.

“I got my own [State Property imprint] with Universal,” he says of his future in the game. “I didn’t want to be in the situation where I had to pick between [Jay Z and Damon Dash].” They both good homies of mine. I didn’t wanna pick one way and go the other. Then they going through whatever they going through and I didn’t want to be in the middle of that equation. I just said the best thing for me to do as a man and true friend was to back up from both situations. I would have my friends on the same level. I don’t gotta worry about one feeling no type of way because I’m riding with this one. That’s a real uncomfortable feeling.”
The rumor mill is also buzzing about a possible signing to G-Unit Records. Sigel is aware of the rumors, which have been circulating online and in the streets for the past couple weeks. He says that the possibility has not gone farther than “conversation” with 50 Cent. Beans also noted that any alignment with G-Unit would have to be a joint venture.
