Rapper Young Buck
continues to expand his Ca$hville record label, having recently signed pioneering
Sacramento, CA rapper, C-Bo. While
terms of the deal are being finalized, C-Bo, real name Shawn Thomas, will be the
first artist to release an album off the Ca$hville label, Young Buck revealed
to AllHipHop.com.“C-Bo is about to f**k the game up,” Young
Buck told AllHipHop.com. “A lot of people already know what’s up with `Bo
from an independent standpoint, so I can just put him out and bring him to the
world on a worldwide platform and keep that same independent feel.” Known
as one of the Bay area’s most infamous rhyme bosses, C-Bo has reportedly
sold over 2 million albums independently since 1993.C-Bo
has worked with a number of high profile rappers throughout his career, including
Tupac Shakur, E-40, The Outlawz, Mac Dre, Yukmouth and others. He
has released several critically acclaimed albums including Gas Chamber,
Enemy of the State and what many feel is his most controversial release,
1998’s Til My Casket Drops.The
album contained a song titled "Deadly Game" in which C-Bo talked about
shooting a police officer. Officials ruled that the lyrics violated the terms
of C-Bo]s probation and jailed him. The
case was later dismissed. C-Bo
recently drew headlines when his West Coast Mafia imprint released Arizona based
white Hip-Hop group Woodpile, which celebrates "white pride."According
to Young Buck, C-Bo will drop an independent album through a one album deal with
Koch, while a distribution home is negotiated for the Ca$ville imprint. “Warner
Bros. is making big, big, big moves right now toward what I’m doing,” Young
Buck said. "Being that I can take my label outside of Interscope there’s
been a lot of labels reaching out to me. I don’t know if I want to take it to
Warner Bros. or Atlantic or Def Jam or Universal, I don’t know. Everybody’s talking
good and at the end of the day I just want the best opportunity.”
