LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - It has just been announced on 93.9 WKYS that DC-areahip hop artist, Wale, has signed with Interscope Records in a joint venture deal with three-time Grammy award winning producer Mark Ronson's AllidoRecords.
Wale, 23, has seen a tremendous amount of success for an unsigned hip hopartist over the past year, gracing the covers of URB and DNR magazines, doing remixes for Justice, Chris Brown and MIA, performing at the MTV Video MusicAwards, song licenses with Nike, ENTOURAGE and MTV and a growing internet buzz surrounding his most recent mixtape 100 MILES AND RUNNING and his upcomingSeinfeld-inspired project, THE MIXTAPE ABOUT NOTHING. Entertainment Weekly recently reported that the mixtape features a skit from Seinfeld star JuliaLouis-Dreyfus.
Wale signed a production deal with DJ-turned-producer Mark Ronson (AmyWinehouse, Lily Allen, Christina Aguilera) in June of 2007 after impressing him on Ronson's European tour. Following an intense, six-month bidding war,Wale signed to a joint venture between Allido Records and Interscope, saying Jimmy Iovine, Luke Wood and the whole Interscope staff understood his visionbetter than anyone else.
"Look at their track record," said Wale via phone on his way toperform at a Justice concert in DC. "Dre, Eminem, 50, Pharrell, Timbaland, Black Eyed Peas, Soulja Boy…the list goes on."
"This is the best possible situation we could ask for," says DanielWeisman, Wale's manager. "We waited and kept grinding until someone came with something we felt reflected the work we've put in; Interscope gotit."
Mark Ronson will executive produce Wale's untitled debut album andcontribute production to the project due out in fall. Other tentative contributors include past Wale-collaborators Osinachi ("Nike Boots") and BestKept Secret ("Back In The Go Go"), along with Just Blaze, Pharrell, Kanye West, 9th Wonder, Justice and DJ Toomp.
Allido Records is a New York City-based label founded in 2004 by Mark Ronsonand former manager, Rich Kleiman. Allido Records has put out releases by Rhymefest and Daniel Merrieather through J Records, and by Mark Ronson through RCA.Wale's album will be the first release through their new joint venture deal with Interscope.
