After releasing his popular single, "Best I Ever Had", there has been a media frenzy over which major label, rapper Drake would being signing to.
While there have been rumors and speculation Drake now has announced that he has decided to sign with Lil Wayne's label, Young Money Records. The deal is reportedly a joint venture between YM and Cash Money, with Universal Republic handling the distribution.
"Today is a definitely a comfortable day for me, having my team now that's been in place for a couple of years. It's just a great day. It's something new, but it feels familiar," Drake told MTV.
During these past weeks, some fans wished the artist would sell his music independently without the backing of a major record label.
"Independent is a funny term. I can go independent, but you need distribution, period. You need somebody to distribute your record and you need that army that a label has to really push the record."
Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later, scheduled to release sometime this year, with no set date curently set.
Congratulations to Drake on signing with Lil Wayne & Young Money Records. No surprise there. But Im glad he finally ended the bidding war for him with the other labels. Plus, he signed with Wayne, he's about to make a LOT of money! YOUNG MULAH BAY BEY!! ;D Lol
