Young Money to release new compilation album 'Rise Of An Empire' in March

There's no denying that Lil Wayne's record label Young Money has grown into one of music's biggest hit-making machines. Today (Jan. 22), the label has announced the release of a new celebratory compilation album Young Money: Rise Of An Empire, which will drop on March 11.

According to a press release, Rise Of An Empire will be the official follow-up to Young Money's introductory compilation LP, 2009's We Are Young Money.

The album will, of course, feature Young Money favorites such as Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minah and Tyga. The album will also include some of the label's rising stars, such as Gudda Gudda, Shanell, Lil Twist, Euro and Christina Milian (of "Dip It Low" fame).

"There's nothing like it when the whole family gets together in the studio. YMCMB is stronger than ever, and everybody was truly on fire. We're all blessed to be a part of this incredible Empire as it continues to thrive. I can't wait for what's next. Keep watching," said Young Money CEO Lil Wayne in a statement.

Rise Of An Empire will finally give Drake's shiny song "Trophies" an official LP release. However, the album will be led by single "We Alright" from Lil Wayne, featuring Birdman and YMCMB's latest signee Euro. The track is due to hit radio today (Jan. 22) and will officially debut on Tuesday, Jan. 28.
