2 CHAINZ LANDS MAJOR DEAL WITH RESERVOIR MEDIA
apper 2 Chainz has landed a major label deal with Reservoir Media, as he prepares to release his major label debut album Based on a T.R.U. Story.
The new publishing deal between 2 Chainz and Reservoir Media will give the publishing company the rights to the rapper’s 200-plus song catalog, including his major-label debut.
“The key to my success has been building a stellar team of hand-selected people with the skill and know-how to match my vision,” 2 Chainz told AllHipHop.com in a statement today (August 8).
“I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Reservoir’s exceptional group of professionals,” the rapper added. “Artists depend on strong publishing representation and today, I believe I have secured that.”
The deal between 2 Chainz and Reservoir Media was brokered by Reservoir’s Senior Vice President of Creative and Business Development, Faith Newman.
Faith Newman was introduced to 2 Chainz via Sha Money XL, Def Jam’s Senior Vice President of A & R.
“I loved that 2 Chainz was a veteran of the business, with a new major label deal, but underground at the same time,” Newman said in reference to the rapper’s previous career as Tity Boi in the group Playaz Circle.
“He has a unique flow, look, and persona, and you feel that charisma when you meet him in person,” Newman added.
The deal comes as 2 Chainz holds the Top 2 slots on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The rapper is featured on Kanye West’s platinum-selling single “Mercy,” alongside Big Sean and Pusha T, which was been #1 for the past five weeks.
Meanwhile, 2 Chainz’ track “No Lie” featuring Drake is #2.
Based on a T.R.U. Story is set to be released on August 14th via Def Jam Recordings.

“She admitted they’re pretty much back on and Jay told her they’re all behind her and want her to be happy.
Chris is even flying out to the island to see her soon. She knows that a load of her fans aren’t going to be happy about them hanging out though – people still haven’t forgiven him.”
Also, word on the street is that Beyonce is coming back! That doesn’t mean very much to me, but I am sure the ladies are going crazy.
SHOCKING NEWS...IS K MICHELLE CERTIFIED SCHIZO! ...WELL TOYA THINKS SO
Love and Hip Star K Michelle has been talking ALL KINDS OF CRAZY in every interview. According to K Michelle, Lil Wayne's ex Toya's NEW HUSBAND Memphitz abused her.
Well now Toya is FIGHTING BACK . . . and she's putting K Michelle's business out in THESE STREETS. In a recent interview, Toya claims that K Michelle has CERTIFIED mental problems . . . and her problems are so bad that the GOVERNMENT came and took away her kids.
Here's what Toya had to say:
K Michelle went on the Breakfast Club radio show running her mouth and talking about me and my husband! I want her to keep my name out of her mouth! . . .
Where is the proof that my husband beat on her? Where is the police reports that my husband threatened her son? I need some proof! If anyone knows my husband they have nice things to say about him. Even his ex-girlfriends never came forward to say he was abusive!
But after defending her husband, Toya went on the OFFENSIVE, putting K Michelle on BLIZZ-ZAST. Toya is heard saying:
You know she is bonafide schizophrenic too! She doesn’t even have custody of her son.
K Michelle seems a little over the top to me but is she really Schizo? !?!....iono ....whatchu think?
