Obie Trice Announces First Album Since Shady Departure

Obie Trice found more success than most during his tenure at Shady Records. The Michigan native sold over 1.5 million records, with significant hits at radio and video. Since his departure with the Interscope-backed label, Obie announced today that he'll soon be returning, on December 15, by way of Special Reserve.

The album will come by way of Mossappeal Music, the imprint of producer MoSS, who works alongside DJ Premier at Headcourterz Studio in Manhattan. He is the first producer signed to Premier's Works Of Mart production company. MoSS is recognized for his work with Black Moon, Ghostface Killah, and introducing the masses to Eternia.

Consider a street album, Special Reserve falls in line with the drinking themes of 2003's Cheers and 2006's Second Round's On Me.
