I know Iovine is the synagogue of Satan but we got the machine now!

Top Dawg Entertainment’s founder and namesake, Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith says that TDE has “just closed” a joint venture deal with Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment, the Interscope imprint founded by Dr. Dre.



Kendrick Lamar’s forthcoming Good Kid In A Mad City will be released jointly by Top Dawg, Aftermath and Interscope. Future releases by Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock will be released jointly by Top Dawg and Interscope. More details on the deal, from Tiffith, are coming soon.

A Kendrcik Lamar and yelowolf track would be sick! They got two of the most unique flows in the game

Aftermath is what screwed my ex producer Focus over and in turn, screwed us over

nuff on that shit


I wish these dude the best though most of them wont be coming out.

BlackGerald

no lie i half expected Kendrick to sign with YMCMB

yeah i rap so don't

I predicted this would happen over a year ago when they gained interest in Kendrick and they were pushing their other artists into Jimmy's face too. I am happy for them. Happy someone I actually know is on Interscope. Dope thing for them. I was going to post this thread, but my internet was down. Their CEO tweeted about it a couple minutes before this article came out.

I Am Jay Pee

This will be the westcoast first real lyricist

Yeah everybody knew Kendrick was the Golden boy and that they had their eyes on him but nobody expected Interscope to give TDE & Black Hippy as a whole a deal!.


Im really excited because we got the ammunition we just needed some decent weaponry and solid funding so we can go to war and bring this shit back to the West-coast.

Man its been a drought.. Snoop been on his buffoon shit, Dre been sleepwalking and the shit been meager over hear but we got the illest clique damn near and we got Kendrick who aint too many emcess fucking with.

Man, this movement gonna bubble with the right push!

I knew they were working on getting TDE as a whole a deal. Dude Dawg is a cool guy. When I met him he was real straight forward and serious, but not over-whelming of a guy. When they didn't announce Kendirck's signing, I knew they were working on a deal for the rest of the rappers at TDE.

He has to drop music in a reasonable amount of time though.....he can't wait anothr two years to drop an album....

Shalashaska

Awesome news. I don't think Dre or Interscope will hold back their projects. TDE has a strong fanbase. Kendrick Lamar album coming out by year's end.

Lou Cypher

I think kendrick would be a priority on aftermath, dont think Dre will shelve this dude. especially the buzz him and the crew have

it's me bi***es

No doubt, Jay Rock the only one with an album out. IMO Overly Dedicated should have been a studio album with a major release..

congrats to TDE. this will help out the guys that aren't as popular as Kendrick.

TDE signed a joint venture with Aftermath and Interscope. Not Kendrick Jay Rock AB-Soul and Schoolboy Q. They are signed to TDE.

yeah i rap so don't

Dude Dawg not happy with Fader and their article.

They go where I take them. I don't like how Fader titled the story. The story was about Top Dawg Entertainment.
