Kurupt lance son propre label + divers projets.

West Coast rapper Kurupt is gearing up for what he hopes to be an
exceptional New Year. In addition to three new projects slated for
release in 2009, the Dogg Pound co-founder has created a new imprint to
be distributed through Fontana/Universal, he told AllHipHop.com
exclusively.

The newly founded Penagon Entertainment will be
operated jointly by Kurupt and his Atlanta-based management firm
Lakeshow Management. The distribution agreement with Fontana/Universal
will allow the former Death Row Records VP to retain all creative
control over his music and those signed to the label.

It also provides for the continued expansion of the label's roster, while
growing his resume as a business man. Kurupt is also adding to his
lengthy catalog of collaborations, with the release of a new album with DJ Quik.

The new LP, entitled Blaqout, will be
released via Quik's Mad Science Records, which is also distributed by
Fontana/Universal. The idea for the project came about while the two
worked together on Snoop Dogg's album, Ego Trippin'.

During their many discussions about music, Kurupt said they came to the
conclusion that they should create an album together. "Me and Quik are
like night and day," Kurupt said. "You can’t have one without the other
- the perfect combination."

While putting the finishing touches on [i]Blaqout, Kurupt is also preparing for the February release of his next solo LP, Street Lights,
which will be the first project on Penagon/Fontana/Universal. The album
heavily features production by West Coast producer Terrance Martin,
known for his work on Snoop's last album.

Also in the pipeline is [i]100 Wayz, the latest offering by Tha Dogg Pound, which is the first official album from the group since 2005's Dogg Food. In past interviews, the group has said that their intermittent releases should be considered no more than official mixtapes.

In preparation for the new release, Daz and Kurupt recently partnered with DJ Drama for Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta Grill titled Full Circle. The duo is also working on a collaborative project with producer Pete Rock.

Désolé la flemme de traduire, mais c'est facile à comprendre.

Merci pour l'info , je pense que crée son label sa ne servira pas à grand chose , beaucoup de rappeurs l'ont faient avant lui et c'est souvent inutile car il ne sortent aucun projet digne de se non .
