Some interesting stuff (emphasis mine) came out of the AllHipHop.com interview with Cardan:

AllHipHop.com: Speaking of ghostwriting, in edition to Nelly, you’ve also written for Bow Wow, Lil’ Kim, Diddy. What are some of the songs you’ve written that people may be familiar with?

Cardan: ... I just did the new Diddy and Mary single. It’s a new Diddy single about to come out, featuring Mary, produced by Rich Harrison....

AllHipHop.com: So, what’s up with the album situation? You’re about to put out a mixtape, but aren’t you also working on a record deal?

Cardan: Yeah, I’m working on my record deal as well. Actually, I’ve been talking to Puff about something. He wants to do something with me. I’m just walking out the Universal building [where I was] talking to Eric Nixon; he wants to do something with me. I’m trying to see who has the best offers and who’s gonna be behind the project because I just don’t want to take their money an they just don’t be behind it. I’m looking for the right support and team to get behind me. ...

AllHipHop.com: What’s it [the mixtape] called and where can people find it?

Cardan: It’s called Free Agent Million Dollar Baby Mixtape. ... I got Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Peedie Crack, Lil’ Cease…I got DL Gunz from Philly, I got Akon, Puffy, so it’s gonna be pretty dope.

I can't recall hearing much of Cardan besides I Really Like It, Do You Remember?, Jam On It and Just a Touch (Bad Boy Remix). But, what I heard, I generally liked. It would be interested if he signed with Bad Boy, especially given his rocky background with Mase - though, he says they're cool now.
