Sometimes you just need a new beginning…
Previously signed to Atlantic, T.I. has just inked a new deal moving over to Columbia Records, where he will release his next album.
According to reports the King’s “Blurred Lines” collaborator Pharrell was instrumental in bringing him to Columbia.
The Neptunes hitmaker is said to be executive producing Tip’s 9th studio album, due in early 2014 through Grand Hustle/Columbia Records.
In a statement the rapper said:
“I’m honored to be partners with such a successful, passionate and creative conglomerate like Columbia Records, who respects and supports the vision of their artist and partners. Nothing but love, respect, and appreciation for Doug Morris, Rob Stringer, and the entire staff. Also, a special thank you to my big bruh, Sk8board P, for always believing in me and also executive producing my upcoming project.”
Rob Stringer, Chairman/CEO Columbia Records, added:
“We’re very excited to welcome T.I. to the Columbia family. With his massive U.S. success and career history, we are going to make him an even bigger superstar on a global level.”
Sounds like we can expect some major things from Tip in 2014.
