In between trying to make babies with rapper Diamond, rapper Lil Scrappy has a new mixtape coming out on Ludacris’ Disturbing Tha Peace Records called The Shape Up. The mixtape is produced by DJs Don Cannon, Infamous and Tee the Barber.
“Everybody’s been wondering where your boy been at, what he’s been doing,” Scrappy said in a recent interview with MTV writer Shaheem Reid.
“I got with Ludacris, new deal with DTP. Luda and Chaka took me straight to Def Jam. It’s going digital, Gs up. Shape Up is all about keeping yourself flip-flop up. As soon as you get to looking raggedy, touch yourself up, get your shape up. Get yourself in shape. Every day is a struggle.”
“Scrappy did it for the people in the struggle trying to get their life together,” said DJ Don Cannon, who used to spin for Scrappy years ago. “It’s one of those inspirational records. We do it out here, go ‘hood to ‘hood like Alabama, Arkansas, Houston, Nashville, Dallas, that know about the ‘hood and how we had to represent it, how we had to shape it up.”
Gucci Mane, whose single with Mario and Sean Garrett sits at #20 on Billboard, guests on Scrappy’s mixtape.
