IGGY AZALEA SIGNS NEW DEAL WITH ISLAND DEF JAM

IGGY AZALEA

After her run with T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records, Iggy Azalea has signed a new deal ... with Island Def Jam.

In a press release, Island Records announced the new deal, where the Australian rapper will release her long awaited debut, The New Classic.
"I am elated to be a part of the Island Def Jam family!" Iggy said in a press statement. "After speaking in depth with David [Massey], Steve [Bartles] and Chris [Anokute], it became clear that Island Records was attuned to the type of artist I am. They are a great addition to my UK team, and I couldn't have asked for a more understanding and aspirational group of people to work with."
The New Classic is slated for release later this year.
After the news hit, fans wondered if she left T.I.'s Hustle Gang, which helped push her in the past year.
Iggy says she's still Hustle Gang, and that "Friendship doesn't require contracts."
