C-Bo Out Of Jail, Talks New Album, Label
By Tiffany Hamilton

Rapper C-Bo will be released from prison today (June 22), after serving almost two years for gun charges and other offenses.

According to C-Bo, he is going to work on his untitled album, the 17th from the rapper.

"With this album, I am really trying to re-capture what the West Coast is known for," C-Bo told AllHipHop.com. "Right now we see a lot of people doing their thing, so I know it's the right time for me to step in and give fans what they have been waiting for."

His label, West Coast Mafia, has already signed two acts, Killa Tay and former No Limit soldier Young Bleed, who will drop Rise Thru Da Ranks' on August 23.

“We have a lot going on over here," C-Bo said. "I linked up with [Young] Bleed, because I respect what he does. I was wanting to work with him when he was on No Limit and we were in the process of working on a project before I was incarcerated, so it was only natural that we would link up to do our thing."

The climate of rap has somewhat changed since the rapper was incarcerated. During his two year stay in prison, two of his associates, Mac Dre and Anthony “Fat Tone” Watkins have been gunned down.

The rapper, who was jailed in 1998 for violating his probation because his album Til My Casket Drops, allegedly promoted gang culture and called for violence against police officers, said that he planned to speak his mind again.

"I still feel to this day that I was a target, but they didn't stop my paper and they won't,” the rapper said. “Am I going to purposely go out and do things to draw unnecessary attention to myself? No. But I am not going to stop being me or saying what I say just because they want to investigate things that I have done in the past.”

Amid the unsettling times in Hip-Hop, C-Bo is actually calling for a unified front amongst rappers.

“We definitely need to unify and give to younger, hungry emcees coming out,” C-Bo explained. “I hear about all the beefs and I feel that for California to really get our just dues we have to come together and work together, not just sign treaties."

He wasn't in jail for two years. He was in there for about 6-8 months. Maybe collectively since 1998 when is album dropped. Either way, I hope his upcoming album is a banger. The Mobfather was, and it'll be hard to top.
