It must have been at least five years since dubcnn first started reporting on Glasses Malone‘s official solo debut “The Beach Cruiser. From being up under Black Wall Street records, to being signed by by Sony Urban for 1.7 million, to moving to Hoo-Bangin’/Cash Money Records, the homie Glasses has already had his fair share of trials and tribulations in the industry.
But countless mixtapes and even more pushbacks later, the time has come for the official “Beach Cruiser” album on August 30th, via Suburban Noize/Cash Money.
A few days ago, Glasses leaked a record called “211” that was originally set to be the intro to “Beach Cruiser“, but didn’t make it due to sample clearance issues. Listen to the song and you’ll know why – Glasses spits over some of Hip-Hop’s timeless classics, introducing his album:
Glasses Malone – 211 (Audio)
He’s also shot a video to the song “Eastsidin’“, which features Snoop Dogg and Nipsey Hussle, look for that to drop soon. Incase you missed it, check out some Glasses material from the album we dropped last week:
Glasses Malone – Dope
Glasses Malone – Rich N Thuggin’ (Feat. Ya Boy)
“Beach Cruiser” is also set to feature previously recorded and released singles Haterz featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman produced by FOC [watch the video] and Certified with Akon [watch the video] which also spawed an all star Remix with Lil Wayne, Bun B and Kam.
In a recent MTV interview Glasses said the album; “Represents the West Coast – slow, steady classic-ness. That’s how I want my music to be: just as timeless as a Beach Cruiser.” The album will also include collaborations with Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg, T. Pain and Rick Ross amongst others. Stay tuned to Dubcnn for the latest news and media from Glasses Malone and Blu Division.
