DJ Mustard has made a name for himself with bay-infused 808 and snap laden production. Along with working extensively with artists like YG, Joe Moses, and Ty$, Mustard has branched out to work with bigger artists like Tyga, 2 Chainz, and Young Jeezy. It seems his collaborator list is about to get even longer and more diverse with the announcement that the beatmaker has signed a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation imprint.
Industry exec Jay Brown will represent Mustard. "I'm excited to take my career to the next level with RocNation, and Jay Brown!" declared the producer in a statement. "Looking forward to working with RocNation artists."
J.Cole, Wale, Rihanna, and Jay Electronica are among the other artists signed with the Roc who may reap the benefits of having Mustard as a labelmate.
The DJ also plans to drop a mixtape June 3rd.
