8/14/2007 New York, NY- Foxy Brown leaves Def Jam to start an
independent label which will be distributed through Koch Records. Last
Wednesday night, August 8, Foxy Brown closed a deal with Koch Records
which makes her the first female star MC to have an independent label
at Koch. Although the exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, label
sources revealed it was a multi-million dollar negotiation that signed
after office hours. The first artist to be released under Black Rose
Entertainment will be Foxy Brown.
Ms. Brown will release her highly anticipated street album titled'
Brooklyn's Don Diva ' later this year, which will be her first release
since regaining her hearing. Foxy stated "I have always been a symbol
of independence as a female in music. My brand is already established,
millions of my records have already been sold, and I have a fan base
already loyal, after 13 years at Def Jam, I felt it was time as a
matured business women to move on and continue my brand under the roof
of something I own".
Foxy also hinted she will be looking to sign artists who have
worldwide appeal because of her strong ties in the Caribbean music
genre. Chaz Williams, of Black Hand Management, stated, "Foxy is not
only an incredible talent but an entrepreneur with a vision. She
decided to move on to literally greener pastures, like money green. We
are faced with a climate in music and new media where the independent
is far more profitable. Ownership and partnerships are the new
millennium record deals."
The first single from Brooklyn's Don Diva will hit radio within the
next few weeks, and the album is scheduled for a December release. Foxy
went on to say, "I have two albums of music recorded, and my fans have
waited long enough, I'm back b%ches!!!"
