Jae Millz Signs to Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  58 Comments

After enduring years of false starts and label politics, New York MC Jae Millz has signed a new deal with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment imprint. Weezy announced the signing during a recent performance in New Jersey when he called out to the Harlem lyricist from the stage. Millz made first drew attention as a ruthless competitor on the underground battle scene before releasing the single “No, No, No” through Warner Bros./Wanna Blow Entertainment in 2003. Although he enjoyed a healthy buzz from the single, his debut LP, Back to the Future never saw the light of day. Frustrated with his situation, he later inked a promising deal with Universal Records, but would ultimately end up sitting on the shelf there as well. After securing a release from Universal at the end of 2006, Millz announced that he was a free agent and prepared to give his rap career another shot. Speaking with Complex magazine after Wayne’s announcement, Millz expressed enthusiasm about his new situation and revealed that he has also resolved his issues with Wanna Blow. “I’ve just been keeping stuff low, but Young Money is what it is, and I’m still Wanna Blow,” he explained to Complex. “The “Holla At A Playa Remix” is going to be out in two weeks. We’re moving, Young Moola baby!”

    first!!

    this might be a good look for millz but i cant say yet cuz look wat happened to currency

    • http://www.myspace.com/maxprofit Max Profit

      Currency is not with Cash Money/Young Money any more. He got a mixtape where he explains how he left Cash Money over a disagreement.

      It’s gotta be about money! There are no artist on Cash Money that’s why Baby made Weezy the President when he almost left.

      It’s pretty clear Cash Money don’t really pay artist. Ask Gillie, BG, Juvenile.

      Poor Jae Mills been tryin to come out for so long I guess he’s ready to let Baby rob him too!!

    Why does everyone think that when a rapper signs to another rapper’s label, he is guaranteed to skyrocket to the top. Lil Wayne has had 10 different rappers signed to his label and he STILL has not released any albums except his own, remember SQAD UP!!

  • Frass King

    Seriously… How many people are going to sign to cash money and act like it’s going to be different… Lil Wayne will be the only superstar on cash money… oh yeah and stunna (refuse to call a grown man baby or birdman)

  • fireforreal

    Not a good move for Millz.At the end of the day Wayne only cares about wayne,and Jae millz doesn’t have enough mainstream appeal where he’s gonna generate big doe so he’s gonna be on hold for another 2 years or so then leave.Lil wayne is focused on just lil wayne and being featured on 30 singles a year,not signing and releaseing albums by artist unless it’s him or Baby.

  • J.C.

    YO YA DONT KNO WUT YA TALKIN BOUT MOST OF DA BEATS DAT JAE MILLZ MADE LIL WAYNE BEEN SPITIN OFF OF AND JAEMILLZ IS HIS OWN DUDE HE WILL FIND SOMEWAY TO GET TO DA TOP I KNO DAT CUZ DAT NIGGAS NICE WIT IT HE HAD SUM GOOD SONGS I AINT GON FRONT BUT IF HE WERE TO SIGN ON WIT LIL WAYNE IM SURE LIL WAYNE WILL PUT HIM ON AND TAKE HIM IN ON RECORDS MANN CUZ JAE MILLZ DID DA SAME FOR HIM AND I KNO LIL WAYNE GOT HIS BACK

  • Trickdd

    good move for jae fuck what a hater gotta say jae has a brain of his own and knows at the end of the day whats the best thing for his self are else he wouldnt of sighn. wayne just thinks about his self you sound funny whats the man suppose to think like if you aint number one in your priouritys then your shits fuckt up jae mills can handle his self and he gunna make the best out of it i no young money hasent drop any albums insept mixtapes but its funny when there mixtapes better than half these niggas albums.239

      U have lost your posting privalege after your idiot comment on jay z and nas

  • Eye of Amen Rah

    The United States iz a corporation, that has been the victim of a corporate takeover by the T.I.’s. Life repeats itself, and today the christians have again initiated the crusades to take the holy lands from the muslims, hence the twin towers being knocked down to incite the people=(employees) of the corporation to give the department heads(President+congress+Senate) the absolute power to do as they please(Start wars=Star Wars). The evil “Empire” iz real, and they will not relinqish power.

    Example: When the corporation iz losing money, why is education the first exspence to be knocked off the chopping block?

    Ans: Because the department heads don’t want the employees to get too smart, and bring attention to whatever the real reason the corporation iz losing money…

    Jay-Z, P-Diddy, Cash Money(Lil Wang), and (Your Favorite Rapper) are in bed with these TI’s try’n to get they membership (Skull & Cross Bones Ring) to the elite.

    read about “Empire of the city” get your knowledge up my brothas

  • Rodjilius

    yo that was smart for gettin on young money ent you niggas can hate on wayne all you want but because of him millz might get some good buzz

  • NIG

    THATS GOOD ANOTHER BROTHER THAT HAS A LEGIT JOB……HATERS STOP IT……..

  • j. meezy

    hey wayne “wanna blow”? no homo

  • ajack324

    good for millz..seems like he hasn’t really had a fair chance in the game, hopefully he will get to grow as an artist at Young Money ENT>>>>>> ya dig

  • Moneydan

    When is Wayne gonna put out even one out of the many artists he signs ? what’s the point of saying you got all these artists and you got a lable but your not releasing any albums just your own ? Young money is looking like blackwallstreet and all these other fakeass lables that’s just a write off then after being on the lable for 3-4 years not dropping they wonder why artist get pissed and leave. And Trickdd you just suck wayne’s dick so much you even mention his name when the news has nothing to do with him.239 shut the fuck up.

  • http://www.myspace.com/onemanprod ONEMAN PRODUCTIONS

    I think Lil Wayne wont hold him back. Millz will be out this time for real

  • Trickdd

    Nigga please how you gunna point out i mention wayne and the comment right before mine mention weezy haha nigga you need to hop off a niggas dick.239

  • Moneydan aka tricks pimp

    Nigga you on this website makin all kinda homo comments and you say I need to hop off niggas dicks ? you never make sense and you never will.We all know you nigga and you continue to show us why the world wide web shouldn’t be available to just anyone.239 lol okay homie whatever you say first learn how to type.

  • real talk

    wayne doesn’t even run young money or cash money anymore. direct quote” it’s the best thing for my artist.”assholes

  • DAtruthonline.com

    I think wayne is nice as an emcee but he ain’t ever gonna bring millz out,but this is the kinda situation where he’s gonna become more popularthan before that’s about it just like M.O.P signing to G-unit but wayne is hot so I guess it’s a good move.

  • latino heat

    why didn’t he just sign with koch? lil wayne even said he was stepping down as head of his own label cause he didn’t have time to focus on other artists. i like millz but this is another dead end for a very talented artist. the majors obviously aren’t interested in u. just go indy.

  • Caine

    Damn Millz, I almost forgot bout you playa. This prolly ain’t the smartest move, but shid a few extra dollars to sit stagnant on Weezy’s label ain’t bad. Thats whats benn happening to da nigga all along anyway.

    And, NO, NO, NO was dat shit too…

  • BORN IN THE NORTH, RAISED IN THE SOUTH

    If you really think about it, wasn’t No Limit the only rap label to actually put out an album for every artist on the label?….

  • Lil Dan

    AINT HE COME OUT W/ ‘MY SWAG’ DAYS BACK?

  • EMSsk8r

    why why why? why would you sign is cash money label is wack nothing but wack artists who never had talent weezy trash and so is baby bad desicsion but who cares i dont like this foool

  • CHICAGO “G”

    Rappers signing to rappers is never good… Plus weezy ain’t got time to focus on Jae Millz shit he too busy catching bullshit cases and doing features and shows, and jae millz never had a following outside of NY and Weezy is just going to overshadow him, you think a mufucka gone buy his shit cause Weezy cosigned it you crazy.
