Well, I hope he means done as in complete, not done as in scrapped! With no date set, continue listening to the reference track and daydream for now.

Babygrande records is putting in serious work as of late. Up next is a project from D-Block called Prepare for Glory.  I guess this is as close as we’ll get to a proper Lox album for a bit.

Styles P, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch talk about Prepare for Glory:

Looks like another “street” album is on the way from Ras Kass, dude’s career really got messed up by Priority. Was I the only one that didn’t know he was locked up right now?

RAS KASS PREPS "INSTITUTIONALIZED VOL. II" FOR AUGUST 5th RELEASE ON BABYGRANDE RECORDS
One of the most critically acclaimed West Coast emcees of all time, Ras Kass is renowned for his complex lyricism, sharp battle rhymes and witty punchlines.
1996’s debut "Soul On Ice" established Ras as one of the front-runners of the post West Coast gangsta rap movement pioneered by seminal acts such as N.W.A. and nationally popularized by modern day icons Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg & more.
Marrying a hardcore street sensibility with his signature witty wordplay, Ras built a loyal underground core with subsequent albums including 1998’s "Rasassination," featuring guest appearances by Dr. Dre, Xzibit, Twista & RZA (of Wu-Tang) as well as multiple mixtape releases.
Currently serving time, Ras Kass’ ambition in the face of adversity is on full display with the August 5th bow of "Institutionalized Vol. II."
Sure to satisfy Ras’ loyal constituency and beyond, "Institutionalized Vol. 2" is a testament to both Ras’ resilience and the raw skill that underlies his longevity within the ever-changing hip-hop landscape.

Damn, Jacob the Jeweler got 2 1/2 from the Feds looks like we were wrong about him not being held down.   The thing I’m wondering is, will there be ‘Free Jacob’ (in a diamond encrusted font) t-shirt made ? maybe a pendent? Note to self when ML gets raided for all of the zshares (coming soon!): don’t lie to the feds.
