What's her label situation as of now? Is she still with Grand Hustle?

Yes, but she's a "free agent". Like she's a part of the Grand Hustle imprint but she doesn't have a deal with an actual major record label for distribution (at least that she has announced so far since she's still "independent" by choice)...

[RockaByeBaby]

She just tweeted the first single will be coming out later this month

[Linnethia Monique]

Can't wait. TRAPGOLD is my sh!t.

[RockaByeBaby]

So we're getting more singles before the album, yes!!

[soulsurfin]

Can't wait to hear this! I loved "My World" and most of her Ignorant Art mixtape.

I feel like she's going to wind up with really low numbers. If Azealia Banks is only famous on the internet, I don't even know where Iggy Azalea is famous.

[Wave.]

Especially if shes not signed to a major label.

She's appeared in big places for the hip-hop community in the past year already though, first female on XXL Freshman cover and the cypher at BET Awards. Plus the Grand Hustle thing gave her some headlines as well.

But anyway she's been touring a lot too, etc. I'm curious about the promo campaign and how it will be handled though, obviously not expecting sales if she's doing the independent thing but she's been doing a lot low-key, you just don't get the feeling she's everywhere exactly because she's not signed to a major label that's doing that for her but sometimes that's also deceiving. I mean look at Mac Miller and Macklemore, they did amazing independently with their albums and it's not like people were expecting it.

Anyway, as long as the material is great she'll be fine and I just want her to keep releasing new music, ... She's young and can still be very successful with the potential she has

Not really 100% Iggy related but...

T.I. -- I'll Sign with Your Label... for $75 Million



Got $75 million handy? If so, you can sign T.I. to your label ... the hip hop star just became the number-one free agent in rap -- and despite the steep price tag he's putting out ... some deep pockets are already lining up.

Sources close to T.I. tell TMZ ... T.I.'s 10-year contract with Atlantic ran up only a month ago ... but he's already put together his own idea of a $75 million deal:

- 3 albums
- 10-20 percent of publishing, touring, merchandise, film and TV rights
- Corporate endorsement deals
- Exclusive signing of all Grand Hustle artists

Sources close to T.I. tell TMZ ... he's already met with some of the industry's biggest names ... including Dr. Dre, who asked him to join Interscope over dinner at Katana recently (see picture) ... and Jay-Z, who wants T.I. in the RocNation family .

We're told Sony's put a $50 million deal on the table so far ... and Universal's meeting with him later this week to make an offer too.

All in all, not a bad group to have knocking at your door ...

Yea, directed by Rankin in the UK last year during her shoot for the next issue of Hunger Magazine

New classic is coming.

It seems like Nicki Minaj isn't the only female rapper making moves these days as Australian femcee and model Iggy Azalea has just signed with Purple, an internationally renowned Public Relations Agency providing services to both leading global brands and the next generation of groundbreaking talent within the fashion, music, beauty, lifestyle and luxury goods industries.

Purple is described as "independent in philosophy, attitude and in operation, offering both a boutique and in-house approach, the strategic requirements of each client are individually tailored from the outset," which seems to fit Azalea's mindset as she is currently still unsigned to a record label and being represented by top modeling agency Wilhelmina Models.

"The most important asset that differentiates Purple from competitors is the diversity of our client base and the cross fertilisation opportunities between clients that so often become available," can also be read on the agency's website and the New York/London-based company is currently representing names such as Beyoncé, Adele, Queen, Bjork, Lana Del Rey, Rita Ora, Jessie J, Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan, Paco Rabanne, Roberto Cavalli, among others in their diversified divisions.

Iggy Azalea will be releasing her debut album, "The New Classic," this Summer and touring the world throughout the year. Purple’s services cover press relations, print and online editorial procurement, product placement, high profile event management and branding & marketing.

Her brand currently is so much more bigger than the music...if the two could come together she could truly be something special

A label could help with that but she seems determined to do stuff on her own. Let's wait for the announcements she was talking about earlier this month... I hope she can do it for the release of her debut!!

[Keelzit]

How can she release an album without being under a label?
