New Studio Album "Bigga Than Life"Due This Year
Cash Money Records Co-C.E.O. and rap titan Birdman—aka Bryan"Baby" Williams—hit radio hard with a one-two punch with his latest single "Born Stunna" featuring Rick Ross, immediately becoming the #1 Most Addedat Rhythmic Radio and the #2 Most Added & Greatest Gainer at Urban Radio. Major markets across the United States embraced the song without hesitation and have begun spinning it constantly.
The single's title couldn't be more appropriate. Every time Birdman cuts a track, it's bigger and better than the last. A sleek, slick synth mounts as he trades impenetrable rhymes with Rick Ross. The latter drops an irresistible hook that slips right into explosive verses from the Cash Money co-founder. It's a true baller's anthem, and that's why "Born Stunna" instantly caught fire at multiple formats.
Nevertheless, the track simply serves as an introduction to his anxiously awaited fifth album, Bigga Than Life, which once again will take everything to another level when it releases later this year.
In addition, Birdman went on BET's 106 & Park to debut the music video for another song from the record, "Dark Shades" featuringLil Wayne and Mack Maine. The clip sees him tearing up an underground skate park [and massive beat] alongside Lil Wayne and Mack Maine. It's a monster collaboration and video, showcasing the YMCMB family doing what they do best—running the game.
Birdman's a born artist, C.E.O., and, of course, stunna. Get ready to experience music that's Bigga Than Life.
