Remy Ma scores a new deal.

After releasing Plata O Plomo, her 2017 collaborative album with Fat Joe, through RNG, Remy Ma has decided it was time to take her talents elsewhere. It has been confirmed that the "Shether" rapper has officially inked a deal with Columbia Records, although details of the signing have yet to be revealed. That means if you've been eagerly anticipating some news of Remy's upcoming album, you're unfortunately out of luck. At least, for now anyway. What that does mean, however, is that Remy Ma has joined the likes of Beyonce, Dej Loaf, Earl Sweatshirt, Juicy J, Russ, Solange, and Tyler, The Creator.

Congrats to Remy, who has been enjoying one of her biggest years in recent memory. For better or worse, "Shether" propelled her back into the spotlight, and eventually led to her taking home the 2017 Best Female Hip-Hop Artist at the Bet Hip-Hop Awards. Remy is also making moves on the small screen, and is set to appear on Love And Hip-Hop: New York for the eight season of the reality series. During her stint on Love And Hip-Hop: New York, Remy will star alongside Safaree Samuels, Yandy Smith, Bianca Bonnie, Snoop, Rich Dollaz, MariahLynne, DJ Self, Lil Mo, & Karl Dargan.


As for Remy's music, her 2017 numbers are definitely respectable. The album debut at number forty-four on the Billboard charts, with 11,158 sold in its first week. The lead single "All The Way Up" fared better, hitting the 27th spot on Billboard and the 9th on Billboard's hip-hop charts. However, he biggest drop of the year was clearly "Shether," which has since racked up over two million views on Youtube. Stay tuned for more from Remy Ma, including a potential collaboration with Cardi B, which may or may not be in the works.

    "2 million views on YouTube" they really trying to act like that number is serious .......

    With the last album weak sales I hope she doesn't take an advance because she gonna have to use her love and hip hop money to pay that recoup ..... smh

    They should do an album together if they haven't already.

    In this day and age signing to a major seems like a crazy idea. With the roster Columbia has I doubt she will have much invested into her projects

    The thing is, a major label can provide tour support. Granted it's recoupable but its difficult to tour without having a sponsor of some sort. Some people have the business acumen to manage a tour but there are other personality types that would rather have somebody else take care of the business and just want to be told when and where to show up.

    If Remy gets on a major she gets the best producers, high budget videos, radio promotion, advertising online and in magazines, posters in retail stores and the whole 9 yards.

    If she tries to do it herself she'll barely make a blip on anybody's radar. You won't hear any of her songs on the radio or in clubs. And if you do walk into a retail store you won't see any posters advertising her album.

    I remember Azeala Banks had an album out during her controversy with Iggy Azeala. My daughter's birthday was coming up so I was going to buy Azeala Banks album. Turns out they didn't even press it on CD so I couldn't buy it.

    Why are people still enslaving themselves to majors in 2017?

    She's also gonna be in debt for life. Most artists with 15x her buzz don't even do well enough to even recoup advances. What makes her different? She peaked almost 20 yrs ago when the major label landscape was still healthy.

    I'm not praising somebody for signing to a label when they came in the game over 12+ years ago
