Drake Signs To Young Money / Universal Motown

Well, it is now official. Drake has signed to Young Money / Universal Motown! After weeks of speculation as to whether Drake would stay independent or sign with a major, Drizzy Drake has opted to stick with his closest associates, Young Money Entertainment. The deal is actually a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money. Universal will take upon the distribution role.

Drake’s management is very adamant about the idea of Drake continuing to be viewed as an independent artist despite the deal. His popularity has soared since the Young Money artist distributed his So Far Gone mixtape for free. His success has been evident in not only his status on the charts, but also in that he performed with his Young Money conglomerate in the prime time slot at the BET awards.

Drake’s official debut album, Thank Me Later, is slated for release later this year, and will feature collaborations with Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne.
