Curren$y Signs to Warner, Preps EP With The Alchemist

Spitta returns to the majors…

Indie favorite Curren$y is back on a major. XXLMag.com has learned that Spitta signed with Warner Bros. Records and is prepping his first release for April 20.

The New Orleans rapper’s manager confirmed with XXL that Curren$y’s first project on WB will be a 10-12 song EP, completely produced by The Alchemist called Covert Coup.

Spitta also secured a label deal with Warner for his imprint, Jets International. He has hopes to drop discs by his affiliates Fiend and Young Roddy, who have appeared on his Pilot Talk 1 & 2 albums, which both dropped in 2010 through a distribution deal with Def Jam. —Jesse Gissen

    Good to see him getting some respect, but he always said he didn’t care about the label, as long as he was on his shit. Hopefully he doesn’t pull a wiz and go mainstream. Hot Spitta needs to stay in the JETStream

      I think Spitta is the last person who’s gonna let the label shape his movement. *crosses thumbs* He’s stayed fly so far, even through the YM deal, which I’m sure he was pressured to go with a more mainstream appeal.

    Dang, congrats to Spitta; but want about all that unity talk with Dame Dash. How will their relationship stand now that Spitta signed with Dame’s enemy, “Lyor Cohen” (yes!!!, Lyor runs Warner now)

    4/20. Right on.
