Started in the Midwest of course, worked its way out West with Lynch, Jay Rock, and formerly Cognito, then headed South with Young Bleed. The next logical step would be East, right?

The signings of Young Bleed and Jay Rock show clearly, at least in my opinion, that Tech and Trav are more interested in expanding markets in new locations rather than focusing on talent.

Didnt Strange already try the whole Ill Bill thing?

Yep, when he was about to drop his "The Hour of Reprisal" album, he was shopping for a label. That's when Strange put him on tour, and it looked like he was going to sign, but went with Suburban Noize instead. Right now, I don't see him signing any long-term deals with a label because he does well on one-contract distribution deals and handles the rest through his own imprint, Uncle Howie Records.

Ill Bill took his album to Fat Beats, not Suburban Noize. La Coka signed as a group with Subnoize.

I'm out of line by saying Strange should've just given what Bill asked for, but here was an already established hip-hop artist with a hot album full of buzzworthy features, whose fanbase is made up of that fraction of hip-hop fans who (a good deal of anyway) didn't really mess with Tech's music like that. Bill would've been the second biggest seller on Strange even before Lynch jumped onboard.

Strange doesn't even develop their markets by touring the East Coast. Why the hell would they acquire artists from an area unsaturated with their own product?

Strange needs to focus on the talent they have and regain the recipe already! They need to quit signing these douchers. There are more "hood" artists on Strange than not. It's crap. The strongest release I've heard from Strange in the last year was Kutt's EP and that makes me frown :(
