After much deliberation, Iggy Azalea has inked a solo deal with Island Def Jam. The announcement comes just two months after the Australian rapper signed with Mercury Records in the U.K. Despite not officially being on T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint through their deal with Atlantic Records, Iggy clarified that she still reps Hustle Gang and will appear on the upcoming G.D.O.D.: The Introduction compilation.
Hey world. I signed to island def jam. Iam now mercury UK/ island def jam USA awesome!!!!

No. That doesn’t mean I’m no in hustle gang. Save it. Still in it. Still on the hustle gang album. Friendship doesn’t require contracts.

Most of them do it for the exposure. As much online buzz as she has, it still often takes a major label to push this stuff to main stream-radio smash level massive success. She has a very marketable image, and with the marketing $$ and connects a label like Island Def Jam has, she could blow up outside of the hip hop circles she is currently found in. Pop land is honestly where the big money is at, and a big label could turn her into the next flo rida, fergie, or whoever. Kreashawn tanked, but there is clearly a market for more girl rappers, especially one that looks like a fashion model with a nice ass.
