Channel Tres Drops ‘No Limit’ And Announces His Major Label Signing With RCA

by

In July, Compton house producer Channel Tres dropped the sizzling dance floor track “Just Can’t Get Enough” and promised that his new album, Real Cutlrual Sh*t, would be out this fall. We’re in September and the release date still hasn’t been announced, but now we know why: Channel Tres just announced that he inked a deal with RCA Records in partnership with his existing label, Godmode. So it looks like Godmode and RCA will be putting out Real Cultural Sh*t jointly this year and while we await a release date, Channel Tres has blessed us with another heater in “No Limit.”

Propped up on a funky bass line, harmonic disco organ and infectious beat, Tres sings, “There’s no limit where this can go, there’s no limit where this can go.” Close your eyes for a second and imagine hearing that hook at a club and tell me you don’t think this is the type of song that’s going to draw people together?

Tres spoke about the meaning of “No Limit,” saying that it, “…was made about my time in New Orleans and about my memories of backyard BBQs my family used to have in Compton. It also speaks of breaking past limitations in life and with a love interest.” This one’s got the juice now.

Listen to “No Limit” above.

Real Cultural Sh*t is due out this fall via Godmode/RCA Records.

No Limit Rapper Mac Was Granted Clemency After Spending 21 Years In Prison On A Manslaughter Charge

No Limit rapper Mac will be home from prison much sooner than expected. This is because Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards granted him clemency after the rapper spent 21 years in prison for a 2001 manslaughter conviction. Unfortunately, the clemency does not spark an immediate release, though, as Mac will have to wait until his June 22 parole hearing to learn when he will be released from prison.

“We are approaching the finish line to securing Mac’s freedom,” Mac’s wife Angelique Phipps said in a statement. “We are grateful to Governor John Bel Edwards for granting his clemency and to those who have supported him along the way.”

XXL reached out to Mac’s team and the Louisiana governor’s office to confirm the news, which was reported by NOLA.com, but no comment from either party has been made yet. Mac was arrested back in 2000 and charged with second degree murder in connection with a shooting that resulted in the death of 19-year-old Barron C. Victor Jr. The rapper maintained his innocence in the incident and claimed he only separated a fight that led to the shooting. Despite this, he was convicted of manslaughter in 2001 and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.

A 2014 investigation revealed that the rapper may have in fact been innocent in the shooting as his defense team presented new evidence, which included another man confessing to the crime. Mac’s team also said a witness revealed they were coaxed into naming the No Limit member as the shooter. Two years later, the prosectors were accused of hiding evidence and the rapper filed for clemency, but was denied. Things changed this past February when the Louisiana Board Of Pardons And Committee On Parole agreed that the rapper should be immmediately eligible for parole.
