Yo Gotti and his CMG label has just inked a partnership with LA Reid’s establishment. As part of the multi-million deal, Epic Records will distribute the goods provided by Cocaine Muzik Group. Says Gotti.

“This is a solid partnership that allows me to do what I do on bigger platforms, with the respect and support of the Epic team,” explains Yo Gotti. “Throughout L.A. Reid‘s career, I realize he has been a part of creating some of  the biggest superstars in the industry. I feel there is no better person to partner with. After my meeting with L.A. Reid, Benny Pough and his staff felt like Epic would be the perfect home to further the growth of CMG.

“A lot of labels were talking big checks, but the money didn’t interest me,” explains Gotti. “I wanted a partner that wasn’t afraid to work as hard as I do. I knew that by sticking to my independent business mind frame and continuing to chase my dream, that the right situation was going to come. The independent success we’ve had thus far with our tour, merchandising and projects from myself and my first artist Zed Zilla has given me the perfect opportunity to create the best possible partnership for CMG,” Gotti says. “I have no doubt that we will take our movement to its pinnacle with Epic Records.”

    Epic has been signing people left and right since L.A. Reid took over. Future, Yo Gotti, Ca$h Out, King Louie, etc. Hopefully Gotti doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.

  8. Tuth Will Out says:

    Ya’ll know how much a REAL videos cost? Do you know how much Radio Promo costs? Do you know how much distribution costs? It’s big loot to create and break a new/unknown artist. Anyone talking stay independent with no JV knows absolutely nothing about the industry.

  9. Your Father says:

    @BBGUN – You’re so right. Remember that money he threw in the water, signing Shyne?

  16. Gucci says:

    Yo gotti is nice he’ll sell like 100k, but he only signed because Gucci and them niggaz fuckin OG Boo dirty, so he gotta get a deal now before they start mad clowing and he’ll eventually fall off

  18. Carlito R says:

    Wait I thought Yo Gotti was already signed to Polo Grounds Music/RCA???

  19. Carlito R says:

    LA Reid should of signed Joey Badass instead.

  20. MR. UNDI$PUTED THE MOGUL says:

    CONGRATULATIONS TO YO GOTTI! IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SIGN YOU TO A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR RECORD DEAL IN THIS DAY & AGE WITH SALES DOWN YOU TAKE IT & RUN WITH IT! BIG UPS TO LA REID WHO OBVIOUSLY PLANS ON MAKING THIS DEAL A $UCCE$$! IF NOT IT KILLS HIS CREDIBILITY. LASTLY “BB GUN” IS 100% CORRECT, YEARS AGO WHEN RECORD LABELS STARTED BUYING OTHER LABEL’S THEY WOULD KEEP THE MAIN COMPANIES NAME & SAY THE NEWLY BOUGHT LABEL WAS UNDER THE MAIN LABEL’S GROUP. THEORETICALLY THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS COCAINE MUZIC GROUP OR EVEN MMG. IT’S 1 LABEL NOT A GROUP OF LABEL’S UNDER 1 MAIN ORGANIZATION. JUST A LIL EDUCATION!

    PEACE & GET MONEY!!!
    MOGUL $$$ GAME ’13!!!
