YMCMB has taken a major stride in diversifying the sound of their artists as they have announced the signing of EDM DJ duo, Stafford Brothers to their imprint. They plan to release a collabo record with Lil Wayne and Christina Milian in the near future.
Birdman and Slim made the announcement that they signed the
Australian DJs, which also involved CHM.
Talking about what the electronic DJs bring to their label, Birdman says
he was impressed with their sound and skills, “The Stafford Brothers blew me away with their energy, superb production
skills and strong remixes.”
Although the
producers are more akin to a party sound, the Cash Money CEO still believes
they will be a good fit with other artists on their label, “their music may
have a party vibe, but that didn’t fool Slim and I. With their ownership of
nightclubs, their own reality television show, international tours and
dedication to their craft, we knew the Stafford Brothers were serious and would
fit right in with the hardworking YMCMB family.”
The first collaborative effort from them will be the track “Hello” which will feature Lil Wayne and Christina Milian. Working alongside YMCMB artists is what attracted the Stafford Brothers to signing with them, “Every artist that we were keen to collaborate with seemed to be part of the YMCMB family.” Matt Stafford explains how they made their choice, “We had the chance to attend Lil Wayne’s 30th birthday party and spend time with Birdman, Slim, Lil Wayne and the whole crew and we felt right at home amongst the family. We knew we could do great work under Slim & Birdman’s direction, with the YMCMB artists.”
Chris Stafford goes onto add, “There was no question. Hailing from Australia, what could be better than signing to Cash Money Records, an iconic US label that has a global fan base?”
