Teyana Taylor Talks Signing With Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music

G.O.O.D Music finally has a ‘First Lady’.

Earlier this week, Teyana Taylor officially announced that she had signed with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music Group after month’s of speculation.   It was a long time coming for Teyana’s fans who had been rocking with her since she signed her first deal with Pharrell’s Star Trek label which eventually led to her appearing on MTV’s Sweet 16 as well as the memorable single, ‘Google Me’ in 2008.

Still, after working on tons of music with Pharrell and the likes of Polow Da Don as well as choreography for other artists, things didn’t quite work out and Teyana asked to be released from her record deal. She went on to release a mixtape, ‘The MisEducation Of Teyana Taylor’,  earlier this year and signed with Kanye, shortly afterward.

I had been working with the whole G.O.O.D music family for quite awhile, since we all did the ‘Dark Fantasy’ thing and around that time I was still signed to StarTrek/Interscope and I asked for a release because I just wanted to find myself as an artist.  I had other options to go to different labels but I felt like G.O.O.D music would be where I would be a [good fit]. When I finally got my release, I released my mixtape and I signed my contracts and here we go now. I signed my contracts a while back but we put the press release out today.
This is the second go ’round for me, and hopefully, the second time’s the charm. I  signed to Star Trak with Pharrell when I was 15, and now I’m at a new chapter in my life where I’m signed to G.O.O.D. Music, and I’m blessed and happy to be part of the team.

According To Teyana, being the baby and only girl on the label has it’s perks:

I am the princess of G.O.O.D. Music, the first lady of G.O.O.D. Music, the baby of G.O.O.D. Music. I’m kinda the spoiled brat right now. I could get whatever I want.”

It’ll be interesting to see what happens from here. This is definitely a good look for her.
