Big Bad 40 aka 40 Glocc has had a busy 2010 already having featured on Dubcnn countless times including an Interview in July and tracks Welcome To California Remix featuring E-40, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, Xzibit & Seven which was produced By Darren Vegas as well as the Ray J featured Damn.
The relentless hustle has not just been in the streets and the studio but interestingly enough it has centred in office buildings.
As President of his own record label Zoo Life, who reside under the Fontana/Universal umbrella, the entrepreneur has shifted gears quite a bit. “When you deal with corporate America, no one has time for excuses and you are held accountable for every little thing, thatﾒs gangsta to me. Itﾒs a say what you mean and mean what you say kind of business. Me building my own label has forced me to move forward in some areas that I can honestly say work for my own benefit. Iﾒm about getting this money every way possible, feel me,” explains 40.
That work has resulted in the news that one of the West Coasts most prized rap possessions, Ras Kass has signed with the Zoo Life imprint.
Two weeks ago, Complex magazine reported Ice Cubeﾒs Top 10 West Coast MCﾒs and sure enough, new Zoo Life member, Ras Kass was in the line up. “Iﾒve always been a fan of Ras Kass plus heﾒs my homey. With me gaining the opportunity to have a real label with distribution I automatically want artists with good music to come eat with me,” says 40 Glocc.
The music as well as the recent signing, coupled with a whistle stop tour of Canada over the next 3 nights aims to solidify Zoo Life for the coming months.
