Iggy Azalea has inked a new record deal! She took to Twitter to announce that she has officially signed a solo record deal with Island Def Jam/Mercury UK. This means that she won’t be a member of Grand Hustle through its official distribution home Atlantic Records, she said that her current contract won’t prevent her from representing the Hustle Gang to the fullest. Congrats to her!
The Australia-born rapper parted ways with Interscope in 2012 after she and the label didn't see eye to eye on her management deal with T.I.'s Grand Hustle imprint. On Tuesday, Azalea took to Twitter to announce her signing with Island Def Jam USA. She's also signed to Mercury UK.
“We are beyond proud and excited to welcome Iggy to the Island Def Jam family,” Island Records president David Massey said in a statement. “Iggy has created a massive buzz and rightfully so: She’s incredibly talented, she’s focused, driven and has great creative tastes and instincts. She is nothing short of an international star, and the team here -- including Steve Bartels, Chris Anokute, Karen Kwak, our chairman Barry Weiss and myself -- are thrilled she’s chosen Island Records as her U.S. home.”
Fresh off the release of her latest singles “Work,” Iggy Azalea is currently working on her debut album The New Classic.
