Upon signing mixtape stars, Drake and Nicki Minaj, to his Young Money label, Lil Wayne focused on making them into mainstream stars. Wayne introduced Drake to the masses before going to Riker's Island. Drake would become the face of the crew over the summer.

Nicki Minaj created her own buzz when she landed on two of the spring's biggest tracks, "My Chick Bad" and "Lil' Freak." Working with two established veterans, Ludacris and Usher, was big for her. It was impressive because neither are associated with her crew.

Lil' Twist has also had a large following over the past few years. But, as a younger member of the crew, he has not had the publicity of the big three. This will all change this year. Twist has been recording his new album for months and he plans to release it this summer. As expected, the album will be star-studded, featuring appearances from Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, but the album will also feature other big names. Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber will also appear on his album, Don't Get It Twisted.

Recently, a video was filmed for Lil' Twist's "Dayo" single, featuring guest appearances from Birdman, the head of the operation, and Mack Maine.

Right after Lil Wayne announced he is close to completing his long-awaited Carter IV album, Lil Twist announced he is preparing his debut album. The album was initially supposed to be released last year, but Drake and Nicki Minaj's promotion made that nearly impossible.

Lil Twist officially signed with Young Money in March 2010 and has been recording. He has secured collaborations on the album with label-mates, Drake and Nicki Minaj. Outside of the camp, Lil Twist will also be working with Khalil of Def Jam and Justin Bieber. The title of the album will be Don't Get It Twisted.

After waiting for almost a year, Lil Twist said he was happy his album is finally coming out. The album will be headlined by a few collaborations with Lil Wayne. While work for Don't Get It Twisted is underway, there is no set release date for the album. Lil Twist is working on a video for his popular new single, "Love Affair."
