Independent rap powerhouse Tech N9ne and his Strange Music cohorts have been scouring the country in search of tomorrow’s next big rap star… and they just found what they’ve been looking for. The Kansas City-based label just teamed up with Top Dawg Entertainment and Watts, California’s biggest hero JAY ROCK for a multi-record deal. “The opportunity to be a part of bringing the next wave of West Coast Hip Hop to the forefront is exciting to me,” says Strange Music CEO, Travis O’Guin. “I immersed myself in that music growing up and it is definitely a part of who I am. I feel like Jay Rock is one of the artists really reviving that West Coast scene and I’m ecstatic that he, along with Top Dawg Entertainment are a part of the Strange Music family.”
Top Dawg Entertainment’s CEO, Dude Dawg, had this to say about the deal, “As a label, Strange has more to offer than most majors out there. Together, Strange and TDE joining forces will mean the best of both worlds for Jay Rock and other artists to come. With their top-to-bottom label machine and our street expertise, there’s no stopping us.”
