The Sacramento streets are talking again, and this time the noise is circling around CML, formerly known as Lavish D, and a potential move that could shift the entire independent rap landscape. Recent online chatter and forum discussions suggest that the Bank’d Up CEO may have inked a deal with Kansas City powerhouse Strange Music, the label founded by Tech N9ne and known as one of the most successful independent operations in hip?hop.
A YouTube upload titled “CML Lavish D announces new partnership with Strange Music” has added fuel to the speculation, showing early signs of alignment between the Sacramento rapper and the Kansas City giant. Additionally, hip?hop forum Boxden has been circulating a thread titled “Cml Lavish D Announces Signing to Tech N9NE’S Strange Music Label,” further amplifying the rumor mill.
While neither CML nor Strange Music has issued an official press release, the momentum behind these reports is strong enough to command attention, especially given CML’s long, battle?tested run as one of Sacramento’s most resilient and influential independent artists.
