Juicy J is adding another power player to his team. The Taylor Gang member has inked a deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records in conjunction with Columbia Records, and will release his debut solo album later this year.
Super-producer Dr. Luke, who’s crafted hits for Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and B.o.B, will oversee the Three 6 Mafia rapper’s album.
“For me to be teaming up with Dr. Luke, Columbia Records, and Wiz Khalifa (TGod) on my new solo album, I’m really excited for this. We’re gonna call ourselves the Powerhouse 3. Look out for more,” said the Oscar-winning MC.
His first offering, the Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz-assisted single “Bandz A Make Her Dance,” is now available on iTunes. Juicy J will also hit the road with Wiz Khalifa and the rest of his Taylor Gang family on the “2050 Tour,” beginning in October. [Rap-Up]
