“I work so hard and still can’t believe I deserve these things. Signed my first deal with Varick St of Def Jam. I prayed hard for these kinds it blessings. Grateful to firstly God, Wes, Owen, Noah, and my family that’s been the support system and inspiration I can always count on,” wrote Savage in a post shared on his official Instagram page.
The “Good Night” rapper shared more details about the partnership with fans in his e-newsletter. “[I’ve signed] a distribution deal. This means that I still own all of my masters! I also don’t have an overwhelming advance, which means I owe the label nothing but 20% of the projects we’ve agreed to work on. While they pay for everything, I need to push the music with a HUGE marketing budget,” explained Savage.
Samad Savage is currently working on a new project. This will mark his debut on the label.
