DJ Khaled has added a new artist to his We The Best Music Group roster.
Khaled’s imprint, Cinematic Music Group and Epic Records have announced the signing of Brooklyn rapper Flipp Dinero to a joint deal.
“I knew Flipp was a special type of artist from the minute I heard him,” DJ Khaled said in a press release. “He had a certain vibe to him that I knew the world would gravitate to and I’m proud to work with tomorrow’s brightest superstar.”
Cinematic Music Group CEO Johnny Shipes added, “I’m extremely excited to be partnering up with Khaled, he’s one of the best hit makers of our time. We are about to make a movie with Flipp.”
Dinero, who is probably best known for his “Leave Me Alone” single, also received high praise from Epic Records president Sylvia Rhone.
“It’s an incredible opportunity to partner with two of the best music men who have their ear to the ground and their pulse on the culture,” Rhone said. “Flipp Dinero is undeniable!”
Check out Dinero’s video for “Leave Me Alone,” which has racked up over 4 million views on YouTube, below.
Congrats to Flipp, Johnny Shipes, Sav and Cinematic getting the bag with Khaled. But, what happened with Kent Jones, Steph Lecor and Vado? Ace Hood and Movada left WTB already, because they felt Khaled wasn’t giving their projects priority to his projects, features with other artists and production given to big name artists that should’ve have been on their albums. C’mon Khaled
“We the Best” is just a new Aftermath with Dre. You get signed and go nowhere !!!
Congrats Dinero but too bad Khaled is more concerned about his own career to be able to focus on his artists..
Congrats to bruh but how many 3rd parties are involved? Sounds like a 720 deal, not a 360.
We the best huhhhhh ace hooooddd!
Must’ve been desperate for a deal. Khaled the biggest opportunist in the game; dropped all of his artists and collaborators the second they weren’t hot anymore. We ain’t hearing from this kid again.
Epic gonna get all the money distributing then We The Best for production then Cinematic for management.
Dam what Flipp gonna get?!
