Sometimes a drastic change is necessary to show the growth and development of an individual. With his new hair cut Young buck is making the beginning steps into showing off all of the other changes in his life.

Alongside chopping off his braids, Buck has also launched a new label, Cashville Records, and with a new album Product Of The South, coming soon,buck is setting himself up to be next in line on G-Unit.

"I just basically been touring, promoting my last project and getting ready for the release of my new album, Product Of The South, A lot of people want to see me succeed and that's why I created my own brand, Cashville Records. I'm just stepping up to the executive bracket. I'm still a part of G-Unit, 50 is still my boss when I'm doing G-Unit and I'm my boss over here. I'm trying to establish me and just getting to my money."

The Cashville Rapper's new album is slated to hit stores on April 1st, and will feature appearances by artist such as Young Jeezy, Plies, Devin, The Dude, and Brotha Lynch Hung with production by Hi-Tek, Drumma Boy and Sha Money XL. The album will be released on the his label and, according to Buck, will be a sound from what he has usually brought under G-unit.

"It's a totally new feel to the music, I can definitely tell you it's gonna be all fresh sounds. I'm working with new producers. I wanted a separate sound and feel from G-Unit. I mean, how could it be a new label if I went with the same stuff as ya'll used to hearing from G-Unit?"

There have been constant rumors of tension between Buck and 50, and during the previous tour buck has been visibly missing, when asked about it Buck says that while the relationship has changed, he wouldn't call it beef.

"I wouldn't say that the relationship has deteriorated, At the end of the day, I been over here getting money and establishing me. My relationship with 50, it is what it is. 50's becoming bigger by the day."

"We don't communicate as much as we used to, but that's cool because I'm not the type of artist that's gonna wait for the CEO to make a move for me," he stated. "I respect 50 to the utmost. Even though at times to the world it seems like 50 ain't down with me, I still stay loyal to the nigga because he put me in this position. It's just he's more focused on 50 more than anybody. Everybody wonders, what's up with Buck and Fif? He's a business man. He gets the final word and makes the [business] decisions for G-Unit. Anything outside of that, you gotta ask 50 about."

Despite talks of another G-Unit group album in the works Buck says that no release date has been set as of yet. His ties with the G-Unit camp are still as strong as ever and he will be making an appearance at Sha Money XL's One Stop Shop producer's conference on March 8-9 in Phoenix, AZ.

When asked if he would work with some of 50's old adversaries Buck Replied "My label is Cashville, not G-Unit," Buck said. "We'll see who chooses to holler and if it's a positive move that's going to benefit the label and my artists, then we'll work it out. It's a whole new year, there's new money to go get."

"A lot of those situations were obviously not my situations," he added. "I'm open to those that are open to me. I ain't trippin' if ain't trippin'. I ain't trippin' if the world ain't trippin'. I'm in a lane where I got other people's lives to think about too now. This is a fresh Buck."

Product Of The South will hit stores on April 1st on Cashville/Sony.
