Title: Pusha T Inks Solo Deal With Def Jam
Post by: The_Ripper on September 01, 2011, 03:04:54 AM

So even though Pusha T has been running with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music imprint for a minute now, the Clipse member apparently hadn't signed a proper deal just yet. According to Karen Civil, he has officially inked a solo record deal with G.O.O.D. Music distributor Def Jam. What that means, unfortunately, is that we now don't have a firm release date for his upcoming Fear of God 2: Let Us Pray EP or his full-length debut. The EP is apparently coming soon, though, and is tentatively set to drop Sept. 27.

Pusha released the following statement on his deal:

“Solidifying my first solo venture, G.O.O.D Music/DefJam is my home. That machine with my creativity is gonna make for satisfied hiphop fans,” said Pusha.

Def Jam will distribute the album, like Decon did with his ep.

He already worked with these prior to the signing.

Yeah, I see y'all point, but my point being; the more involved Def Jam gets, the more watered down and mainstream the album ends up sounding, with product/artist placement all over.

BUT def jam is involved just in the distribution of the album...

Let's hope Jome is wrong.
