Detroit’s Obie Trice has left Shady Records after eight years and two albums, AllHipHop.com has confirmed today (Jun 30).He is currently working on his third album, while solidifying a new situation for his own imprint.“Obie and Shady were moving in different directions,” the 30-year-old rapper’s manager Terry Wilson tells AllHipHop.com. “But he still has a great relationship with Shady Records. He has some big plans for his World Wide Hustle label.”Currently recording his third album while solidifying his label situation, Trice has released a track explaining his decision to leave the label with which he attained a considerable amount of respect and success.While a source at Shady confirms the split is amicable, the new song, “The Giant,” indicates that Obie’s complaints may have been with parent company Interscope.“I murdered e’ything when I wore the Shady logo,” he spits after announcing there’s no more Shady.“O is a mogul/Low on the totem pole ‘cause Interscope’s loco/Now I’m gettin’ mo’ dough.”Following a personal introduction to Eminem via D12’s Bizarre, Obie Trice joined the Shady Records family in 2000 and was introduced to listeners outside of Detroit on the supergroup’s 2001 debut Devil’s Night.His own RIAA-certified gold debut Cheers came two years later, with a follow up, Second Round’ s On Me released in 2006.Continuing with the theme of his two previous releases, Trice’s third album is tentatively titled Bottoms Up.
