hiphopishere.com wrote:With the upcoming release of his “Special Reserve” album, Obie Trice reached out to SOHH to clarify speculation on his first post-Shady Records solo project being a replacement for his rumored “Bottom’s Up“.
According to Obie, his album consists of pre-recorded material and will not replace his upcoming third studio album.
“Me and my man [MoSS] from Toronto, h*ll of a producer, we’re putting the music out there that we did back in the day and just putting it out there, it’s some old-school, new-school hip-hop sh*t,” Obie told SOHH. “When Bottom’s Up comes out, then we’ll talk about that Shady sh*t. This is some of the music that signed me to Eminem’s label.”
Producer MoSS also told SOHH the project has material from over ten years ago.
“All of the songs were done between 1997 and 2000. This is an album that we were getting ready right before Shady called Obie.”
Initial speculation said the album would consist of newly recorded songs.
Ever since leaving Shady/Aftermath, Obie Trice has been hard at work on his next effort “Special Reserve.” The new album is a collaboration effort between Obie and rising producer and DJ Premier associate MoSS, who signed to Premo’s “Works Of Mart” production company. The album will consist of 11 songs which includes one bonus record.
“Special Reserve” is slated to drop Tuesday, December 15th.
