Mixtape king, club deejay, and on-air radio personality DJ Envy has hooked up with Brooklyn-based rapper Red Cafe, who is signed to Akon’s Konvict label, for a joint project as The Co-op. The album will hit stores on September 25th and features guest appearances by Jermaine Dupri, Fabolous, Nina Sky, Fat Joe, Styles P, Sheek Louch, Paul Wall, and others. The first two singles from the project are “Dolla Bill” featuring Fabolous and Jermaine Dupri and “Things You Do” featuring Nina Sky.

The Co-op has decided to title their new album, The Co-op, Volume 1: It’s Movin’. Red Cafe explained,

“This album right here is The Co-op Volume 1: It’s Movin’. You know we say ‘It’s Movin” because for me when something it’s moving that means it’s doing well you know because it could absolutely not be moving, you know what I mean? So like when we say ‘It’s movin’,’ that mean we doing well. You hear me holler it, you my team holler it, you Envy holler it, ‘It’s moving’.’ That means that we’re doing a great job. I’m feeling good about where we at with it, you know?”

In related news, Cafe will release his solo debut album, The Shakedown, later this year. The album will feature guest appearances by Akon, Tyrese, Remy Ma, Fabolous and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony with production by Nottz, Green Lantern and the Trackmasters.
