After being released from prison and deported to Belize, Shyne has been recording. During a recent interview with MTV, the emcee explained that he has various albums set to be unveiled, including Messiah and Gangland.
“I’m just making albums at this point. I’m on my fifth album. I’m not sure, me and Baby [Birdman] been talking. We been talking about doing the Cash Money thing where I put one album out on Def Jam, distributed by Def Jam, and Baby [will] distribute one album on Cash Money,” he said. “We’re still finishing the fine points and negotiating that. Maybe I’ll come with something six months later, [maybe] every six months. I’ve got so much to say, you dig? I don’t think I can answer all the questions on one album. So I definitely think we can put out two different albums on the same day at the end of the year, then come back with a third one or another double set six months later. Get all this shit off my chest.”
According to Shyne, the relationship with Cash Money is nothing new.

“[Birdman] was gonna take me on tour with them, then I got locked up,” he continued. “He reached out to me and let me know if there was anything he could do to assist. When I was about to come out, he reached out to me again to see if there was anything he could do to help me. We’ve always had an open line of communication through the same banner, through the same rag. That’s inevitable. I’ve got the utmost respect for what he does. [Baby’s] a real roller, putting it in. He built Cash Money from nothing to something that’s been great. Wayne, what’s up. Rikers Island, I know the brothers is taking care of you in there. So Cash Money is definitely family.”
