Title: EMI Signs Up Twista
Post by: Elano on February 27, 2009, 09:16:21 AM
Chicago rapper Twista has inked a new deal with EMI Global Music Services, the same imprint that will release Fat Joe’s new album J.O.S.E. 2.

Under the new partnership, Twista will launch his Get Money Gang Entertainment/EMI Music label.

The first project from the alliance will be Twista’s fourth studio album Category F5.

According to the rapper, the EMI alliance is ideal in ensuring success for his upcoming release.

"We are very pleased to be in business with EMI and Capitol," Twista told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "I am excited about being independent again but having the resources of a major. The hustle never stops. Over the last couple of years, I've just been thinking about what the fans want from me. And that was motivation enough to bring out another classic album."

Twista’s move to EMI comes as the label gears up to release New York-based rap star Fat Joe’s ninth studio album, Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2).


 

J.O.S.E. 2 will feature production from Jonsin, The Incredibles, and The Street Runners, while artists like Ron Browz, Fabolous, Lil’ Kim, T-Pain and Lil’ Wayne make cameo appearances.

 

Although the Akon-assisted “One” is the official first single from the album, J.O.S.E. 2 generated early talk with the release of “Winding On Me” featuring Lil Wayne and Browz.

Why would anyone think "I know which rappers I'd like to sign: Twista and motherfucking Fat Joe"?

Is this some sort of tax write-off deal?

(I'm joking. Of COURSE it's some sort of tax write-off deal.)
