Lil Yachty is officially signed. Quality Control COO Kevin "Coach K" Lee posted a picture of himself alongside CEO Pierre "Pee" Thomas and Lil Yachty with a caption welcoming the Atlanta rapper to the label. Lil Boat also went on Twitter to confirm the news.

"I am where I want to be, QC The Label," Lil Yachty wrote. "It's Official."

Lil Yachty also showed some appreciation for his fans with a thankful message. He told them that signing to Quality Control was only the beginning of his journey.

"I just want to thank all my fans.. For being there for me," Lil Yachty wrote. "This is literally only the beginning. Big Things Coming Soon. Summer Songs 2 Otw."

Perhaps the guidance of Coach K and Pee can help Lil Yachty build more of dedicated fan base in his own city. During a recent appearance on Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning, Lil Boat said that he did not feel like he has any fans in Atlanta despite it being his hometown.

"For some reason I still feel like I don’t have any fans in Atlanta,” he says. “Of course they’re there, they’re not as loving [as other places]."

Lil Yachty should be in good hands as Quality Control has overseen the careers of Migos, OG Maco, Young Greatness and many more. With the QC team behind him, the rapper will now focus on getting his Summers Song 2 tape ready along with the many collaboration projects he's got in the works.
