Ludacris Re-Signs With Def Jam
There were whispers going around that Ludacris' DTP label handed out several pink slips for it's entire R&B roster, including artists Shareefa, Bobby Valentino, and Steph Jones last week. Well those exact details have not yet been confiremd nor denied but it was announced yesterday, March 3rd, that Luda has extended his DTP label deal with Def Jam for an unknown amount of time. So Luda is definitely on and that I think we all expected but as for the fate of the other ones... well I believe a tell tale sign came out after the usual back patting in the statement made by Def Jam CEO L.A. Reid. "The Atlanta hip-hop scene and the Dirty South movement in general owe more than they can ever repay to Chris," said L.A. before getting to the real details. "Now changing business conditions necessitate that we review our respective rosters and focus to ensure that future opportunities and challenges are aggressively achieved." Translation, those other guys are gone for sure, as for Cris though, he definitely seems to still have that "#1 Spot" in L.A.'s heart. "Ludacris has built Disturbing Tha Peace into one of the iconic names in hip-hop, one that will remain an important part of the Island Def Jam family." Well in this case one man's gain is defnitiely a few people's loss. We still can't say for certain though since we haven't heard any word from Luda or the DTP camp, but it doesn't look good for em'. Either way though I know for sure Bobby V. and Shareefa will both be straight if they continue to grind out in this thing. The other guy I've honestly never heard of but good luck to him to.
