I also thought that he was just affiliated with Young Money and not signed to them…

It’s really is about being in the right place at the right time.Cuz I don’t think his talent/skill is on a level that would make you automatically say “he’s going to be the one to change the game” He’s nice but the first platinum indie artist would be unexpected.

yes I believe he is signed to them, but that doesnt mean he is part of the record label distrib deals that they already have in place.

That would be INCREDIBLE if as the interviewer said, he were to be the first indy artist to go platinum. The industry would never be the same.

My question for you Miss Info or for anyone who knows: I always thought he was signed to Young Money/Cash Money, which based on this interview, he obviously is not. So whats his relationship with them?

too bad he’s signed already
