Now this comes out of nowhere. During his chat with Miami’s 99 Jamz last night, Rick Ross announced that his imprint Maybach Music Group has moved from Warner Music to its subsidiary Atlantic Records. The revelation wasn’t caught on video which we posted but the radio channel did confirm it on their Twitter.
This is an interesting turn of events since Young Jeezy is currently the Senior VP of A&R at Atlantic Records which means he’s bound to have a big say in the music MMG releases from here on. Or we suppose.
UPDATE: The full interview can be watched below. Rick Ross confidently makes the Atlantic Records announcement at the 9 minute mark. He then reveals that his 6th album is due out in Summer of 2013 and that he will announce the title on January 1st.

Young Jeezy is starting off his new position as Senior Vice President of A&R at Atlantic with a huge announcement. His CTE World imprint has signed with Atlantic.
The partnership will bring a commitment of “finding, developing and launching the careers of new talent on the worldwide platform.”
Recently, Freddie Gibbs confirmed his split between the CTE imprint. Jeezy responded with encouraging words. “Freddie is a talented artist and I decided that it’s time to press reset on my career and business ventures. I have no doubt that Freddie will go on to be everything I believe he can be, and I wish him the best in his career.”
The new CTE/Atlantic Records merger will operate under Jeezy’s direction with Atlantic Records chairman, Craig Kallman.—Eric Diep
