Juelz Santana has been super quiet on the music scene since releasing his last album in 2005, and a mixtape in 2006. However, in 2010, he popped up with “Back To The Crib” featuring Chris Brown (who he’d lent a verse to back in ’05 for Breezy’s debut song “Run It,”) and it actually did quite well. But yet, nothing came after that. No new single, no mixtape, no album. Now as we wrap up 2012 and prepare for 2013 to arrive, L’z is finally back on his game prepping for a new album…but we still want to know, what exactly happened in 2010? During his MTV Rapfix appearance yesterday, the Dip Set rapper revealed that an issue with his label Def Jam was behind it, and it included L.A. Reid, Rihanna and Trey Songz. Huh? It’ll all make sense below.
