If artist direct get Warren's album out for the start of the summer then that will be the best move made in Warren's career for ages cause his music is essentially summer music. His last two albums have both been released just before christmas which is a stupid time to release a Warren album, cause his laid back summer vibe just doesn't work for the winter. If they can get a nice summer feeling video out for the first single then I actually think this album will do very well. I mean look at last year, the Shade Shiest - Where I Wanna Be track was huge, it even got in like the top 5 here in the UK, and video was all over daytime tv for most of the summer. If Warren can do something along those lines then I really think that this new album can be a major commercial success for Warren.

You know... I doubt the album will be out before summer, but I do agree, timing is crucial. I do agree westcoast music sounds so much nicer during the summer, then during the winter...

ya i agree they should drop it b4 the summer starts and have a summer hit with the G Funk sound and i dont doubt that cuz warren g always brings the g funk
-
I hope and pray Warren gets recognition for this album. The brotha deserves it.

You know who always got it right with summertime releases?
Naughty By Nature. "OPP" => "Hip Hop Hooray" => "Feel Me Flow".
That's one hell of a hat trick of summertime hits right there.
But I agree, if Warren can put out a smooth, summertime sound for the hot months it'll boost his chances of a hit. Especially with Nate on the chorus. And maybe a verse from Snoop... (dream ;D)

warren is signed to iMUSIC...a sublabel of artist direct inc.
"iMUSIC is a radically simple and fair business model for signing, promoting and compensating artists. iMUSIC and the artist share net profits equitably; the artist retains ownership of his masters; the agreements cover only one release, and a major distributor - BMG - gets the releases into stores. To keep costs down and put more dollars into the artists' pocket, there are no six-figure videos or expensive radio campaigns. Instead, iMUSIC gets creative using traditional and non-traditional marketing avenues, especially the Internet. The artist has total control over his music, and is hands-on with how marketing dollars are spent."
Hip Hop Roster: Warren G, MC Lyte, Tre Hardson (from the Pharcyde), Sir Mix-A-Lot and more.
so it doesnt look like big promotion or big video´s....but i dont care if the album is hot...and warren ALWAYS drop heat.

oh yeah...since the deal cover only one release...could this be his very last solo album?

Yeh I feel u on that one. Know what your slidin thru, Warren G like DJ Quik has the laid back sounds where the long summer is a time for layin back, drink, bbq's, hot sun and hoses and all that where-as listenin to it at x-mas dont go togehter at all. Like J-Lo's track with LL, that shood have been released just before x-mas, video with snow and has a soft x-mas sound.
