Looks like Drake Drizzy just copped one of the best record deals any newcomer’s ever gotten. After a budding war amongst top labels in the game, Drake has reportedly signed with Lil Wayne’s Young Money records. Drake has been kickin’ it with the Young Money boys ever since he hit the scene, but he didn’t officially sign with them because CashMoney/Young Money is known for doing some shady ish to their artists. But Drake turned down Atlantic’s $2 milli offer to wait for a better deal. And he got it. Reports state:
It was widely reported that Drake was offered 2 million from Atlantic Records but turned that down to figure out his options a little bit more. It was also rumored that there was tension between Wayne and Drake due to the fact that Drake would not sign with him. Well I am hearing that Drizzy wanted to sign with Wayne all along but was concerned due to the fact that Young Money is an offshoot of Cash Money and Cash Money has the worst reputation in the business for fucking artists out of their money and overall career. However my intel into this situation told me that Drake has certain guarantees such as album release dates in his contract and also the fact that Weezy doubled the amount he was being offered and gave Drake 4 million just to sign! This is what ultimately led Drake to stick with the Martian.
Glad somebody’s got a good business head on their shoulders in this industry…
