(AllHipHop News) After years of releasing mixtapes and developing a strong presence on the Internet, rapper 40 Glocc has landed a distribution deal with Fontana, the independent distribution arm for the Universal Music Group.
The West Coast rapper’s Zoo Life Entertainment will be distributed exclusively by Fontana. Artists currently on the roster include Gail Gotti, Village Boo, Lil Boo, Locie Locc and TipToe.
“I’m happy to be in business with Fontana and staff and glad my business hand and grind was respected enough to bring my Zoo Life label and brand amongst the world and cater to the fans independently,” 40 Glocc told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “Fontana is the way to go for me and the vision I have for my company…”
The debut release under 40 Glocc’s new union with Fontana is titled N.W.A. (New World Agenda).
“Everyone at Fontana is looking forward to working with someone so incredibly focused on his music and winning as 40 Glocc,” stated Fontana President, Ron Spaulding. “He is not only one of the most acclaimed West Coast Hip-Hop artists, but he’s also a true innovator whose label has come far in a relatively short period of time. Through our new collaboration, we will work with 40 Glocc to expand the playing field for Zoo Life across all mediums and platforms even further.”
Two new singles are also slated to hit the streets this month. “Damn” features Reality King and Ray J., while “Welcome to California” features a variety of remixes with major West Coast artists like Xzibit, MC Eiht, Kurupt, Mistah F.A.B., Yukmouth, Messy Marv, E-40 and others.
