This news just broke through airwaves of the internet, and I wanted to make sure that it is relayed to the public as quickly as possible. Recording artist Derek Minor just signed a record deal with label, Entertainment One, additionally, he has a new project set to release in the first quarter of 2015. Minor is a fairly big name in the Christian Hip-Hop realm, as well as making a splash on several Billboard charts. Below is the attached press release detailing the deal, as well as information on Derek Minor for those not familiar with his name.
" Singer-songwriter and producer Derek Minor has signed a distribution and label services deal with Entertainment One for his upcoming album… Empire. The new music will be the first released by the popular rapper since he left Reach Records earlier this year. Minor’s most recent project Minorville, charted near the top of several Billboard Music Charts and also earned Stellar and Dove Award nominations for the CD and single, "Dear Mr. Christian".
A majority of the production chores for Empire are being crafted by uber hot producer Dirty Rice (Lecrae, Trip Lee, 116 Clique). "I am very excited about my new relationship with Entertainment One," says Minor, who also produced the track "Dirty Water," that can be found on the recent number one album, Anomaly by Lecrae. "I feel confident that the team at eOne will provide me with the resources, experience and support that will allow me to reach my full potential as an artist."
"This is the first distribution agreement we have embarked on with an artist such as Derek Minor, says Mike Olsen, President of eOne Music Nashville.
