Rising Star GloRilla Signs to Yo Gotti’s CMG Records
Yo Gotti has been on a roll with signing artists to his label, CMG Records. Just weeks after signing Lil Poppa and Lehla Samia to the label, Yo Gotti has signed his first female rap artist, GloRilla.
GloRilla has been making noise these last two months on the internet after the release of her single “FNF” with HitKidd. The single went viral on TikTok, starting the #FNFchallenge, and has amassed 22 million views on Youtube. “FNF” has also gotten praise from superstar acts including Cardi B, Saweetie, and more.
“GloRilla is a natural born star – she has a different sound and approach that’s needed in hip-hop right now,” Gotti said in a press release. “It’s one of the quickest rises that I’ve seen in my career because she only dropped in late-April and now she has the hottest cultural records in music. Glo is hungry for success and determined to win. We look forward to watching her grow as an artist and reach her full potential.”
Last month, GloRilla teamed up with Quality Control’s Duke Deuce on his Crunkstar single, “Just Say That.” The visual has already racked up 3.5 million views.
“I’ve put in years of hard work to get this point and I’m blessed to sign with the hottest label in music with CMG,” GloRilla said. “I manifested this moment and trusted my talent even when others didn’t. I’m grateful for Gotti for believing in me and I’m not gonna let up. Trust that I have more new heat on the way.”
GloRilla joins the CMG roster with Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, EST Gee, Mozzy, Blac Youngsta, Blocboy JB, Lil Poppa, Big Boogie, Lehla Samia and 10Percent.
