The G.O.O.D. Music family has just gotten a bit bigger. Def Jam CEO Barry Weiss has officially announced the signing of Q-Tip to G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam records. In a press release, the announcement also included news about Tip’s fourth solo album, tentatively titled The Last Zulu for a early 2013 release.
“I’m excited to be a part of the great iconic Def Jam label,” said Q-Tip. “I’m humbled to be a part of such a storied history. To reconnect with Barry Weiss is a great thing. As far as G.O.O.D. Music, I’m excited to solidify my working relationship with Kanye, and I look forward to all the opportunities that lie ahead in our partnership. I will do my best to present the most cutting edge music I can.”

Dope!! Kanye and Tip are two of hip-hop’s most creative artists, so I see nothing but G.O.O.D. (heh) stuff coming from this. “The Last Zulu” is a great title, too. I’m hyped!

This is great! But who else is exactly in G.O.O.D. Music? Did Yeezy sign Teyana Taylor and 2 Chainz?

All the new hip hop fans are going to talking about how Kanye inspired this “old guy” Q-Tip. Nice to have a new album coming out though.
