Young Money's Very Own
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
In a move that should surprise no one, Drake signed to Young Money yesterday.Well, the wait is over: After weeks of speculation, Drake has chosen to go with the home team and sign with Lil Wayne's Young Money Records, according to a source close to the situation. The deal breaks down as a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money, with Universal Republic distributing. Drake's management was adamant that he should be viewed as an independent artist, although Universal will distribute the project.By the way, performance FAIL at the BET Awards (R. Kelly loved it, though). Can someone please explain why 10 year girls were being serenaded to the lyrics of "Every Girl?"
"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," Drake told MTV News recently in New York. "It's something new, but it feels familiar."
Anyways, Drake's debut LP Thank Me Later is supposed to drop later on this year but now that he's on Weezy's label expect the album to get pushed back about three or four times.
