Straight out of the Bang Em . . You heard it here first . .
During a radio appearance on Power 106, Kid Cudi made the official announcement the he has parted ways with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label.
“I’m no longer on G.O.O.D. Music,” he revealed. “[Kanye and I] were talking on the phone the other day and these are things I’ve been wanting to talk to him about me starting my own direction and he got it because you know, he’s trying to start his new path and try new things as an artist and he was just like, ‘Man, I feel you as an artist. It’s cool, whatever.’”
He made the decision six months ago, but no one on G.O.O.D. Music knew until now. “This is just from a business standpoint. There’s no beef. There’s no problems with anybody on the label. It’s all love.”
The door is still open for future collaborations with Big Sean, Pusha T, and the rest of the gang. “That’s not a bad thing. That don’t mean I’m not gon’ be making music with them.
He consulted with Kanye’s manager Don C and Jay-Z before approaching ‘Ye. “I knew where I wanted to go and then it was like trying to figure out what the right decision would be, how to talk to him about it. I went through a process where I talked to Don C and then I went and talked to Jay-Z and got their opinions about how to approach him about things that I wanted to talk to him about. And everybody gave me the blessing.”
Kid Cudi’s first album since parting ways with G.O.O.D. Music, to be titled ‘Indicud’ will be released on April 23.
Jay-Z is back making more business moves in an effort to expand his empire. This week in history marks the Jay-Z’s official launch of Roc Nation Sports, a full-service sports management company.
According to the New York Post, Roc Nation Sports will be led by the hip-hop mogul with Juan Perez serving as president. They have partnered with CAA Sports, a division of Creative Artists Agency. Jay-Z and Roc Nation Sports have already taken on their first client–New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano. Cano is a member of the Yankees’ 2009 World Series championship team, a four-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and two-time Gold Glove Award winner.
“At this point in my career, I am ready to take a more active role in my endeavors both on and off the field,” said Cano. “I am confident that the pairing of Roc Nation Sports and CAA Sports will be essential in helping me accomplish my short- and long-term goals. I am making this important decision now so I can keep my focus on helping the Yankees succeed in 2013, while minimizing any distractions for me and my teammates.”
“Because of my love of sports, it was a natural progression to form a company where we can help top athletes in various sports the same way we have been helping artists in the music industry for years,” said Jay-Z.
