In December, the Lox rapper announced plans to release a new mixtape titled 'I Love You' as a tribute to his fans. In February, he premiered a trailer for the street compilation, in addition to five new tracks, but still has not given it an official release date. 'I Love You' will be a follow-up to Jada's DJ Drama and DJ Green Lantern hosted mixtape, 'The Champ is Here 3,' which was released in May.
