This is huge news! It's been rumored for a while, but now we've got it confirmed!

"Dope Fiend Records announced today that it has retained Wendy Day to consult with the company in launching the debut album of it's star artist Amir. Dope Fiend Records has tentatively scheduled the release of the full featured LP for August 26th. The album, titled "Image of My Mind" will feature appearances and production by well respected artists/ producers such as DJ Quik, Erick Sermon, Fred Wreck, Butch Cassidy and Ju-L.

About Wendy Day: Wendy's priority is to consult with and help build regional and national independent urban record labels so hip hop artists can regain control of their own art form. Consistent with this goal, Ms Day has negotiated some stellar distribution deals in urban music. She has played a part in Eminem's deal at Aftermath/Interscope, Master P's No Limit deal with Priority Records, Psycho Drama's deal at Suave House, DJ DMD's deal with Elektra, Fiend's deal with Ruff Ryders, and UGK's renegotiation with Jive Records. She negotiated the incredible joint venture deal for Twista with Atlantic Records in 1996, which both The Source and Rap Pages magazines called "the best deal in the history of Black music," until she topped her own record with the now famous $30 million dollar deal for Cash Money Records with Universal. Day focuses on complete control and ownership for the independent label in all of her deals. Master P was the first artist to keep control and ownership of 100% of his masters for No Limit. Cash Money is the only other label in urban music to own 100% of their masters, contrary to what the press says about Bad Boy, Death Row, Roc-A-Fella, and others. The money Wendy Day earns negotiating these deals goes immediately into Rap Coalition, and is solely what funds the not-for-profit Rap Coalition."
