Good things come to those who wait, and according to Mannie Fresh, Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music compilation is "pretty close" to being finished. Still no word on an actual release date, but the former Cash Money hitmaker is excited about his sessions with Yeezy's crew.
"The cool thing about G.O.O.D. Music is it's a bunch of great ideas and I'm one of those ideas," he told MTV News on Thursday at the South by Southwest festival. "[Kanye's] trying to find the most talented producers, most talented artists, put 'em all in a room and say, 'Go for it. Y'all energy, like whatever is creative to y'all.' "

It all sounds pretty organic. "I just kinda went to the Watch the Throne concert. Word got back that I was in there and we linked up from there," Fresh said about his and Kanye's initial meeting. "Next thing you know, I was at his crib playing beats, [and] he was just like, 'Dude, I like mostly everything you played. Sign right here."
It's still unclear whether Fresh has actually signed on with G.O.O.D. Music, but he has clearly been putting in a lot of work with the team, which includes Yeezy, Big Sean, Pusha T and producer Hit-Boy. "The cool thing is, in hip-hop history, when have we ever got along? It's a cool thing that we're sitting at the table, all of us get along on one accord trying to make something great — G.O.O.D. Music," Fresh said.
Much of the G.O.O.D. Music album is still shrouded in mystery. We know the crew has been recording in London, but beyond that there hasn't been any information regarding an official album title or singles. "It's pretty close, I would say it's pretty close," Mannie said about the LP's expected completion date. "Songs phenomenal, everything. It's an album that's all over the place, it's not just one thing. It's not just that you're gonna hear some Southern hip-hop or whatever. You're gonna hear everything."
