21-year-old multimedia artist
Kreayshawn (Natassia Zolot) announced today that she’s signed a recording contract with Columbia Records, part of Sony Music Entertainment. The deal means the East Oakland-raised artist, who has a surprise viral video hit over the past few weeks with her rap song “
Gucci Gucci,” will now be label mates with such stars as Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel, AC/DC, and Adele. Previous rumors suggested she would land at Sony proper for a one million dollar deal were not entirely correct;
Kreayshawn is not commenting on the specific terms of her contract.
Columbia will release “
Gucci Gucci” as an official single on June 14 and will release her debut album later in 2011. The label will also be a place where
Kreayshawn’s video directing skills, honed on the Bay Area streets for rap artists such as Lil B, can flourish.
