“My next album is great. It’s [a] shame the hardest people to work with were suppose[d] to be on the same team with me. SK,” tweeted 50. “I’m not doing any press for this album. I worked really hard on it my music speaks for itself. I may put out another mixtape for fun. SK. Music was so much fun for me now the people and politics involved disgust me …”
