Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) recently announced that Atlanta sensation B.o.B. and Alex Da Kid, co-writer and producer of B.o.B.’s hit song “Airplanes,” have signed distribution deals. B.o.B. signed to a world-wide co-publishing agreement through UMPG’s deal with Eminem’s Slim Shady Music Publishing, LLC, while Alex Da Kid signed to an exclusive world-wide publishing deal.
“Both B.o.B. and Alex Da Kid are talent that we recognized early and helped develop as their music publisher,” said Jessica Rivera, Senior Director of Creative Affairs of UMPG. “It’s rewarding to sign such amazing talent and see their efforts grow into major international pop success. We look forward to supporting their future efforts as they develop long careers making music that will be heard around the world.”
The deal will cover B.o.B.’s recent debut album The Adventures of Bobby Ray, which topped the U.S. Billboard 200, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts when it was released earlier this year.
Ay somebody with somebody with some industry knowledge plz explain to me what he just signed cuz i thouht he was already signed with grand hustle/atlantic
He signed something that will make his album appear on shelves all across the world.
So, does that mean eminem owns this kids publishing now??
Smart move on his part, That Airplanes song is everywhere right now, I’d license that shit out to all kinds of commercials and shit,lol
Buying another artist publishing is one of the smartest things you could do, like when Micheal Jackson and Sony bought the beatles publishing, Paul Mcartney was pissed,lol, but Mike pulled a power play……So, everytime one of those Beatles “Rock Band” games gets sold, Jacko’s estate gets paid
Nice move. Getting bigger.
it will get more exposure, but in the long run might make him less because wmpg gets a % everytime album is sold, song is played. However it still is a win for him. his next project should get that push that his first one should have.
Yeah but they can control him now right? It’s all about the money.

This is a good move. yeah you’re going to have to give up paper to the publishing company but this gives him more exposure worldwide and will let people hear his music.
