Rah Digga has said label issues have caused the delay of her long-awaited second album, Everything Is a Story, but she's confident it will be released before year's end.

Early this year,Digga left her post at J Records for an undisclosed label situation following in the footsteps of Flipmode chief Busta Rhymes who also left J Records to join AfterMath Records.

Under J Records, Rah Digga dropped a reworking of Biggie Smalls' "Party & Bullsh*t," which got significant radio and video play.

She claimed her decision to leave J Records was regrettable  but was necessary for her career and livelihood as a rapper.

"The decision to leave J Records, it wasn't really something that I opted to do. I actually went as far as shooting the first single the first video and everything," she said."And I just saw [the delays] as a prelude of more problems to come," she said. "And an artist like myself who waited four years to drop the next record just didn't need those kinds of problems. So in the end it's almost a blessing."

Rah Digga's last album, Dirty Harriet , received rave reviews from hip-hop purists  and commercial listeners as well.

Making the best of the situation, Digga is returning to the studio with the Youngbloodz to add to an album already featuring Lloyd Banks, Fabolous, Snoop Dogg and others. "I have a lot of stuff out as leak joints," she added. "I have songs out on the street with Mary J. Blige and Lil' Kim." 

 Digga has decided not to divulge her new recording home to the public.
