To celebrate the big moves, the King of the South headlined his TIDAL X: TIP show in Atlanta last night and released a colorful, glow-in-the-dark, art-centric video for “Money Talk” exclusively through the streaming service.
With this deal, Tip’s 10th album, Dime Trap, will be released on his own Grand Hustle imprint via Roc Nation. The rapper also becomes the 19th artist-owner at TIDAL, joining the likes of Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, and Nicki Minaj.
Tip was previously signed to Columbia Records, where he released 2014’s Pharrell-produced album Paperwork.
Additionally, the hip-hop mogul can be seen in the fifth season of VH1’s “T.I. & Tiny: Family Hustle” this summer and A+E Networks’ “Roots,” which premieres Memorial Day. He also stars alongside Jamie Foxx and Gabrielle Union in the upcoming film Sleepless Night.
