Universal Signs Snoop/The Game
Ghostwriter Problem
Compton, California has more to be proud of besides an upcoming album from The Game and continued hope of ever seeing Dr. Dre's Detox. Universal Republic announced today that they have signed another emcee from the famed hood, not far from L.A.X. Airport, Problem.
The German-born, Compton raised rapper is perhaps best known for penning Snoop Dogg's recent album cut "Never Have To Worry" on Ego Trippin' [click here to read the review...] as well as the chorus to upcoming Lil Wayne and The Game collaboration "Red Magic."
The signing comes after Second Round Knockout, a recent mixtape from the artist, sold a reported 13,000 copies. The mixtape spawned the single "I'm Toe Up," which achieved significant airplay on Los Angeles' Power 106 shortly thereafter, prompting Universal to offer the rapper a deal. This announcement comes after other songwriters, namely The Dream and Shawty Redd have agreed to deals elsewhere.
Of the announcement, Problem stated, "I'm here for the mainstay. It's going to be a problem for a long time."
