Drake Signs With Young Money imprint

Today it has been confirmed that after rumored talks with RocNation, and Atlantic, that Drake has signed with Young Money. It doesnt surprise me at all that he signed with them, im sure it doesnt surprise you either. And coming a day after the awards is even less surprising. Definitely planned timing.

The deal is a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money, both distrubted through Universal Republic. You know Baby (Birdman) has to have his hand in everything. Onsmash.com reports:

Drake’s management was adamant that he should be viewed as an independent artist, although Universal will distribute the project.

“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 said. “It’s something new, but it feels familiar.”

Drizzy is excited about having a corporate push to help with the momentum he’s gained independently.

“Independent is a funny term,” he told MTV News on the set of his video for “Best I Ever Had.” “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.”
