After a pair of guest verses on Kendrick Lamar’s “Cartoon and Cereal” and MMG’s “Power Circle”, Florida rapper Gunplay has been garnering attention and praise from critics. Now, live from the 2012 BET Awards, the Triple C rapper revealed that he has signed a solo record deal with Def Jam Records.
In a recent interview with Vibe, the Miami rapper explained that he had officially signed his deal with the famed label only two days before the award show aired. He added that he’s already begun work on his debut for the label.
“I’ve got an album coming out, I just signed with Def Jam two days ago,” he revealed. “The ink just dried, so look out for the untitled album – so far it’s untitled – I’m sitting down with Rozay, we’re going to make everything happen and we’re going to make sure we produce the best product possible.”
Gunplay’s Triple C partner Rick Ross also confirmed the deal on Twitter, congratulating his Miami cohort on his success.
Check out the full interview with Gunplay below.

i became a fan of this guy when i was reading an article about triple c’s in ozone mag like 5 years ago, and then when the triple c album came out i loved every verse he spit, he just came with so much energy. this is def a situation where you can say about time. I’m not a butt kisser or anything but i can honestly congratulate success when somebody has been grinding for years waiting for this exact moment.

ALL U LAMES MUST HATE DUDE..WHICH AINT A HUGE SURPRISE..GP HAS BEEN RAPPIN THE RAW SINCE WE FIRST HEARD HIM..HES A REAL DUDE..N U ALL WILL SEE WHOS BEEN WRITING FOR RICK ROSS SMFH STAY TUNED..LEGGO GP BRING LIGHT SKIN NIGGAS BACK MY DUDE..
wasn’t he on mmg?
he carries their weed
If he sounds just like his verse on Cartoons & Cereal, it might be worthwhile.
I’m a little surprised I never heard him speak in an interview. He sorta came off kinda well spoken, alot more articulate sounding then I thought he would sound. What was funny to me though is when he said this is all gods plan???? It’s god’s plan to help you get a record deal have you rap about bitches, selling drugs, and violence??? Really ???
thats becuase he was high
isn’t this the guy who admitted on camera he was a crack head and snorted some coke live on camera lol dude is below average what sort of a boss is william he gets his own label after over 5 years in the game and his boy only gets a deal after beeing in the game for over 6 years william is slow
yup he a crack head and wayne is a cough syrup junkie kids and there role moels today hah
yo real talk. Hunplay is da realest gangssta rapper since Tupac Shakur (2pac). his music will inspire millions of young niggas. but he shud sing to YMCMB. at da empiore love dese real gangstas. swag
“Tupac Shaur (2pac)” NO? You don’t say? I had no idea that Tupac and 2pac where the same people
yeah he is going to inspire millions of young niggas. but not to do anything positive. thats the whole point though
Dudes got a lot of energy, charisma and heart, if ricky gives him some dope beats (Not just trap) then this could be a good listen.
that’s just sad, he needs dope beats in order to sell.
good 4 him but he aint ever gonna sell and make money
hopefully now he can afford to go see a barber and get that fucking birds nest on his head taken care of
cant wait for gunplays album this guy is hardcore and spits for the streets!
u must not be from the streets. if you were, you wouldn’t need no rapper to speak for u. all of the streets of america ain’t the same.
dumb comment.
Haha You Got to be some young suburban white kid. no real nigga would say something like that. Besides, Gunplay Don’t rep for me or my peeps, he destroying the streets along with the fat cop who fronts like he a boss
you know hes gonna take that advance and go to columbia to do tons of cocaine and maybe even put it on the internet, AGAIN
SO DEF JAM HIRED A KNOWN COKEHEAD??? THEY MUST BE ON SUICIDE MODE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SMART BUSINESS MOVE!!!!
Gunplay is lyrically amazing and easily better then any other artist Ross has. People have been sleeping on this dude, heavy…His style is unique, his look is unique, he’s going to make Ross a lot of money. He just needs to figure out how to build a buzz like 2chainz did. I can’t wait for that album.
this guy is a coke head i will never listen to him.
So this nigga GUNPLAY(who by the way is fuckin ill) admits to past drug use and snorted a little cocaine on camera in another country…. WHO FUCKIN CARES!!!! All this nigga did was admit to doing something that a lot of other people in the entertainment industry do behind closed doors. Let this nigga live! Its about fuckin time that this dude signed a solo deal. Niggas been sleepin on this dude.
This dude always been an employee, always gon be a employee. Plus the game only got room for one dirty lookin nigga, and Wayne got that sewed up.
SMH!…#more CHAOS…one minute…oooo GUNPLAY & MEEK MILL IZ DA SHIT…THEN..FUCK DEM…LOL
“is lyrically amazing and easily better then any other artist Ross has”
Don’t kid yourself. Wale outrapped him on Self Made 2
The Triple C album was recently certified 10x plastic, so Def Jam better be prepared for an encore.
Gunplay on tha come up. im glad cuz he a real nigga that can rap
DEF JAM are yall fucking retarded?! Do you have your heads up ya asses?? Signing Gunplay?? This has to be some sort of joke. What the fuck are yall snortin? Apparently the same shit GUnplay is snorting, that’s probably how he got signed. He walked into the building with some coke. To the moron at Def Jam who signed this fuckin wack piece of shit, please punch yourself repeatedly in the face.
