Today is shaping up to be a huge day for Yo Gotti. News just hit that the Memphis rapper has signed a “multi-million, multi-tier” deal with Epic Records. As if that weren’t enough, Yo Gotti is bringing his own Cocaine Muzik Group label along with him with a “complete distribution and promotional opportunity.”

Here's what Yo Gotti had to say about the deal:

“This is a solid partnership that allows me to do what I do on bigger platforms, with the respect and support of the Epic team. Throughout [Epic Chairman and CEO] L.A. Reid’s career, I realize he has been a part of creating some of the biggest superstars in the industry. I feel there is no better person to partner with … A lot of labels were talking big checks, but the money didn’t interest me. I wanted a partner that wasn’t afraid to work as hard as I do. I knew that by sticking to my independent business mind frame and continuing to chase my dream, that the right situation was going to come.”

That's Gotti with Epic chairman/CEO L.A. Reid up above, clearly feeling pretty good.
