 Ludacris has picked up a new artist for their roster -- ATL's Lil Scrappy.
Scrappy, one of Lil Jon's first signings to his BME Recordings, has recently inked a deal with Luda's DTP Records where he'll release a new album, and bring his whole G's Up camp with him.
"We're just excited to sign him because he's been in the game for a long time and he never got the shot he needed to get," Jeff Dixon, co-CEO of DTP, said, reports MTV. "He has exciting music. ... He brings another dynamic to our label. We're adding another dimension."
According to MTV, Scrappy's next album will be out by September, and Ludacris will serve as a co-executive producer. Additionally, Scrappy could be featured on a probable DTP tour this summer. Until then, though, he'll be dropping mixtapes, appearing on albums from Luda and DTP labelmate Willy Northpole and shooting a film.
Further details regarding his album were unknown at press time.
In addition to a new home, he told HipHopDX earlier this year that he had a few things on the table, most notably acting.
"It's better then a lot of this stuff," he said of acting. "I want to be able to do everything. I'm a talented dude, I think. I've got a some movies on the table, but I'm just gonna keep it under wraps till they hit commercials."
Scrappy's last solo album came in 2008 with the Prince of the South. His most recent project was an indie project featuring his crew Gs Up called Silence & Secrecy, in February.
