The former Eminem protégé spoke with XXL about his past frustrations with the industry and his hope's for the new album, Bottoms Up, today:
Yeah, I would like to have a summertime album because both of my [previous] albums were in the winter [or] fall. I think these tracks I'm picking are more fun, summer type of joints. I [don't] want to wait so long to put out an album. It took three years to put out Second Round's on Me [after] Cheers. I think that's too long. Especially the way I work. I'm in the studio everyday from dusk 'til dawn. My work ethic is crazy. I just feel like with the politics of the game... it's like you gotta get the budget opened up and certain people at the label might be in a direction of another artist at the time. So I just want to have everybody on the same page. I just want you to work with me on this album and push it like it was 50 Cent's album. Like, really push this album and get behind it like it's Curtis.

Though, as Trice says, the album is almost done, it doesn't look like it will be seeing release until summer 2008.
