Rich Homie Quan was a reliable hit factory from 2013 to 2015. (2013: "Type of Way" and YG's "My Nigga"; 2014: "Lifestyle"; 2015: "Flex") After an unusually quiet 2016, he appears ready for a comeback 2017. Tuesday afternoon, the Atlanta rapper announced that he has signed a deal with Motown Records and Capitol Music Group, and that he is currently working on an album to be released this spring.
"First and foremost I would like to thank God for this amazing opportunity," Quan said in a statement. "I'm excited to be a part of a building that has such great history in music. I look forward to this new chapter in my life and giving my fans the best I have to offer."
