“My goal is to add in making Cash Money Records the first billion dollar independent label by putting major plays together for the brand, in and outside of selling records.”Cash Money president Bryan “Birdman” Williams said of Street, “Slim and I collaborated with him so often, we decided the next step would be to extend a deal to him that would allow him to bring his unique voice and perspective to both our label and publishing company.”
In recent months, Cash Money has added Limp Bizkit, Christina Milian, Busta Rhymes and DJ Khaled to their stable of artists. The label’s next releases are set to come from Bow Wow with his seventh studio album, Underrated, and Lil Wayne with I Am Not A Human Being 2.

Supra is set to debut the new line at the Project Trade Show in Las Vegas at the end of August according to High Snobiety.
