Rick Ross is not the only Def Jam artist signing rappers these days as his hip-hop rival Young Jeezy has officially inked rap newcomer Freddie Gibbs to Corporate Thugz Entertainment.

Details of the signing landed online over the weekend.

    We reported last Monday that Freddie Gibbs was close to signing with Jeezy's imprint, Corporate Thugz Entertainment, which is owned by Def Jam. And less than a week's time, that news has been confirmed. The Los Angeles-by-way-of-Gary, Ind. rapper announced his signing to CTE at a concert last night in Chicago. He even brought out Jeezy to, perhaps, make it that much more official. While part of me wants to congratulate Gangsta Gibbs, I'm also extremely nervous. I mean, how long have we been waiting for Jeezy's latest, TM 103? And does it even have a release date anymore? Time to cross our fingers. (Prefix Mag)
