It has been announced that Young Jeezy’s CTE World imprint has signed a deal with Atlantic Records. The imprint will operate under Jeezy’s direction in conjunction with Atlantic Chairman Craig Kallman. To celebrate his new achievement, Jeezy will drop his new mixtape, It’s Tha World today Wednesday (December 12). Back in August, I reported that Jeezy was appointed Senior Vice President of A&R at Atlantic. In a press release, Jeezy said, “This is a fresh start for the CTE brand as we re-launch it,” said the Snowman. “This is why I chose to wipe the slate clean and create an outlet to support and nurture new artists to the best of my ability.”
Jeezy’s former artist Freddie Gibbs will not be moving on with CTE at Atlantic:
“Freddie is a talented artist and I decided that it’s time to press reset on my career and business ventures,” said Jeezy in a statement. “I have no doubt that Freddie will go on to be everything I believe he can be, and I wish him the best in his career.”
