Vado Signs to Interscope

The Harlem native confirms to XXL that he signed at the house of Iovine…

Vado is about to have a new home.

The Harlem spitter confirmed to XXLMag.com that he recently inked a deal with the Interscope Records. Details of the deal are still emerging.

V-Don’s retail mixtape, Slime Flu hit stores last October, and was released on eOne. His collabo album with Cam’ron, Gunz N’ Butta, is slated to drop next month on April 12 also through eOne.

Vado will be appearing on XXL‘s UStream show Spotlight next Wednesday, April 6.

As of press time, Interscope has yet to return e-mails for comment. —Adam Fleischer

      exactly, interscope is not a safe place for hiphop artists, Sha Money XL, Flex n others said it themselves. the staff is lazy as fuck n they’ll exhaust whatever momentum/buzz you got goin. they sabotaged Jada n Styles P, Gunit(when Iovine told 50 to plug Game into gunit becuz Dre couldnt make him pop n that was a disaster), undershipped Wale’s debut album. hopefully killa got something up his sleeve

      and what did they do?

      Jada’s on Def Jam, which is UNIVERSAL, Interscope’s PARENT LABEL.

      Where’s the blackballing at? The label was cutting Jada & 50 checks…non factor info you presented

    VADO is heavy down south, they was in BIRMINGHAM and the venue wasnt big enough to hold all the people that showed up, the fire marshall and police had to come make people leave!! ALSO i think VADO was the first shoe to DROP, THE DIPLOMATS NEXT, MOST HATED!!!!!
