The house Birdman and Wayne built is back in full force.

The Rundown: Young Money, Young Money: Rise of an Empire - Five years after their first official compilation (and nearly a year since 2013's Rich Gang release), Young Money is back to continue building their empire. Led by certified stars like Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga, up and comers like Lil Twist and Euro, as well as vets like Gudda Gudda and Jae Millz all get a chance to shine on the new release, Young Money: Rise of an Empire. Read on for a track-by-track review.(Photo: Courtesy of Young Money)
Euro, Birdman and Lil Wayne, "We Alright" - The album kicks off with a fresh voice: Euro. The new Young Money signee shows both confidence and potential on this single, which also features Lil Wayne and Birdman.(Photo: Courtesy of Young Money)
"Trophies," Drake - Drizzy delivers another stay on your grind blueprint with this song. "If I was doing this for you, then I have nothing left to prove," he spits. They don't have no award for that, but the diploma is a good reminder.(Photo: Young Money)Lil Twist, Euro and Corey Gunz, "Bang" - Three of the label's young talents jockey for position on this Sonny Digital-produced song. Lil Twist brings his boastful flow, while Euro again exudes confidence and Cory Gunz kicks a dizzying verse. (Photos: AdMedia/Splash News; Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for BMI)
