Despite ongoing financial troubles and issues with 50 Cent, Young Buck continues to grind, releasing new music independently until he finds a way out of his contractual obligations with G-Unit.

The Tennessee rapper kicks off 2012 with the release of a brand new mixtape, playing on the title of his former boss 50 Cent's debut, Get Rich Or Die Trying. Buck's version; Live Loyal, Die Rich.

It's the first official mixtape from Buck since 2010's Back On My Buck Shit Vol. 2: Change Of Plans. Hosted by DJ Crisis and producer Drumma Boy, it boasts 20 new tracks, most of which are solo aside from a handful of guests including The Outlawz.

Drumma Boy chips in a beat for the release, while Hitmaka, DJ Pain, and Lil Lody also contribute.

As far as new of a new official studio album from Young Buck, that remains unknown. Until then, fans will have to settle for tapes -- others are planned for 2012 as well.
