Yo Gotti is set to release what he is calling his final music project as a recording artist. The double-disc CM10: Free Game will drop on February 4. Gotti revealed the album’s artwork yesterday.
For the two CM10 covers, Yo Gotti took inspiration from two of the greatest rappers-turned-label heads of all time. New York City emcee Jay-Z and New Orleans emcee Lil Wayne influenced the art for the tenth chapter of Gotti’s Cocaine Muzik series.
“Side B” of CM10: Free Game is reminiscent of Jay-Z’s 1998 classic Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life. “Side A” was a take on 2005’s Tha Carter II by Lil Wayne which is also an homage to Vol. 2. Both projects were pivotal releases in the two rappers’ respective careers.

Young Money boss Lil Wayne and Yo Gotti collaborated on several songs throughout their runs. Gotti is currently signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation management agency. While CM10 could be his last LP, the Memphis representative is still leading his Collective Music Group label.
