Buzzing Alabama rapper Yelawolf has reportedly inked a deal with Interscope Records, according to Miss Info. This after a heated bidding war between several labels.
The rapper hails from Gasden, Alabama native, and becomes the second rapper from the state to sign with the label behind Rich Boy.
Details surrounding the deal were unknown at press time.
Update: Yelawolf expressed his excitement about the signing on Wednesday (March 31), explaining that he's still signed to his Ghet-O-Vision label, but Interscope is the machine behind them.
"We all worked hard to get to this stage. I'm still Ghet-O-Vision, but we've partnered with another team that will help push what we've been doing further," Yelawolf tweeted (@Yelawolf). "Interscope Records saw our vision and liked it and that's who we went with."
His buzz definitely helped him garner attention from the majors. In the past year, Yelawolf has worked with the likes of Slim Thug, Juelz Santana, Bun B, D12's Bizarre, and Travis Barker, among others.
At press time, there was no official word from his camp, or Interscope regarding the deal.
