“#fanluv BREAKING NEWS: It’s WeTheBest/Epic. My new album #MAJORKEY is coming!” he writes for the caption of the clip. “??? After weeks of consideration I have made a decision on where to land the biggest brand in the game. A brand that has been built from the ground up. A brand that I have spent my entire life building even before I have it a name. Today I proudly announce my new partnership with La Reid and Epic Records. We The Best Music/Epic. Those two brands are synonymous with quality music. Iconic music. La Reid was the 1st executive to give We The Best Music an opportunity to distribute my music on a grand scale. It is a very satisfying feeling to re align myself with someone who shares my vision of bringing you the fans the best music possible. When I think about Epic Records the first thing that comes to mind is Michael Jackson ‘Thriller’. An iconic artist with and iconic album and iconic logo. In short I’d like to thank all the people behind the scenes that helped make this partnership a reality.”
Besides housing Ace Hood, Mavado and other artists, DJ Khaled says he is looking to expand the We The Best Music roster.
