(AllHipHop News) Former Cash Money super producer Mannie Fresh has opened a new chapter in his musical evolution with a new group called Sole Fresh. The group, comprised of a pair of New Orleans teenagers, garnered Mannie’s attention as they found a following on the local music scene. Knoxx St. Peter told AllHipHop.com, “We just created some buzz in the city. We were opening for Drake, Knuxx and Tyga and Mannie is like the kingpin of New Orleans, like the Hip-Hop scene. He ended up signing us to his label.” "These are white kids that wear skinny [jeans]. When I met them, they didn't feel out of place," Mannie Fresh told AllHipHop.com. "[Sole Fresh] just like 'Hey, dude, this is what we do.' I feel you have to have courage these days anyway."

It’s been about 5 years since Mannie Fresh abandoned his role as in-house producer for Cash Money Records, and he’s been fairly silent since then.
