Kanye West has signed one of Nigeria’s greatest hip hop artists, D’Banj, to his G.O.O.D music label, which houses some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry such as Common, John Legend, Kid Cudi,… West and D’Banj had been in talks for a while but D’Banj has officially singed the contract today, June 9.
D’Banj took to Twitter to express his content. “Lord I thank you for being So GOOD to us. On such a special day u have decided to humble us more! I’m speechless. Congrats Bro.. It’s TIME. Just like yesterday myself and my brother did Tongolo. 7yrs later Mo’ Hits signs with Good Music. Best birthday gift ever. God thank u.”
Fellow Nigerian artist Don Jazzy produced two tracks for Jeezy a while back and as of today he has also been signed to G.O.O.D. Don Jazzy also tweeted “Thanks for ur love and prayers always. Now we can hear IDJA (Its Don Jazzy again) from the world’s finest Stars. Thanks again, it’s Naija.”
This surely brings the boys up to the big league…
D’Banj came into the public eye after his big collab with Snoop Dogg on the remix of “Mr Endowed.” Watch the video below!
