Music Biz- Interscope Records Signs Rapper DaBaby.
Today (Jan. 23), the 27-year-old Charlotte, N.C.-bred rapper announces that he’s officially signed to Interscope Records. His signing comes as a part of a joint venture with South Coast Music Group, which is the independent label he signed to before also linking with Interscope.
In a statement given to XXL, the rapper, who’s also known as Baby Jesus, explains that his decision to sign with Interscope was a matter of comfort.
“After years of grinding South Coast Music Group is honored to have a partner like Interscope that understands what’s required to take this Carolina movement to the next level and beyond,” Taylor and Carter say in a joint statement.
This signing marks the culmination of a steady rise that began with the release of DaBaby’s debut mixtape Non Fiction in 2015. Although he’s come to be known as much for controversy as his music—he admitted to his involvement in a Walmart shooting that left one person dead back in November 2018—he’s just positioned himself to accomplish many of the goals he set for himself at the beginning of his rise to rap fame.
