(CelebNMusic247-News) Chance The Rapper Turns Down Deal with TDE?
Chance The Rapper revealed that Top Dog Entertainment offered him a record deal, but he was NOT interested and turned them down.
In a new interview with MTV’s Rap Fix Live, Chicagoan Chance The Rapper revealed that Top Dog Entertainment offered him a record deal, which he declined.
Here’s the drop via RapFixLive [HNHH]:
Chance clarified, after being asked about the rumor.
“They didn’t almost sign me, they wanted to sign me”
“Don’t say it like that, though. I turned down being signed… All of those guys are my good friends. That whole camp is great.”
Chance explained his stance in an earlier interview on BET’s 106 & Park:
“I think it’s mad important for the American Dream to exist and work, and for people to believe in a homegrown and grassroots business.”
“I’m on tour now. I’ve only signed mixtapes, never signed to a label. Everything that I do is a part of my own business, and I think that in doing so, as an independent artist, it gives some stake back in the music industry.”
Chance wants to continue working with the TDE roster, though, specifically mentioning Ab-Soul, who he collaborated with on “Smoke Again”.
Chance said.
“Soul was an amazing collab because it came out of nowhere.”
“We became close friends and then we [collaborated]. I think he’s been busy… But we’ll get it in when I get to L.A.”
