Wait, has she actually been dropped or is this getting confused with Blackground losing its Interscope distribution? I don't want to get my hopes up. You know a label is bad when everyone is ROOTING for the person to be dropped.
Hopefully this does not throw off her mixtape plans, I still want to hear that.

I think Blackground just lost their distribution deal.

Oh my god, I hope this means she's finally out of Blackground's clutches. If this is true, HALLELUJAH. If not, maybe we'll actually see her release something before the end of the decade.  |

YES! #FreeJoJo
If she really is free of their hold then a huge congrats to her. Here's to the real start of your career, Jo.

Lol how did I know that would be about Andre 3000? Anyway it's a great song. It sounds like something urban radio would play.

I can't imagine that she'll have a hard time finding another label. I mean, she's totally marketable - gorgeous and young and cool, with a great voice. Any label would be smart to sign her.

Finding a deal will definitely be easy for her. The hard part will be how they try to brand and market her...she clearly leans urban now but she's been gone so long that anyone who does remember her only recalls the young pop girl with pipes. Will the new label try to force her back into that mold? I'm not entirely opposed to it ("Disaster" was the hit that should have been) but I really would prefer nu-Teena JoJo, or some kind of merging of her r&b influences with a current pop-friendly vibe. Whatever they do, I hope above all other things that they have patience. She is basically going to have to start from scratch to build up her cache with the public again.

Andre is amazing, the beat change towards the end was so cool :)
I don't think she'll have issues getting signed to a new label either. Any label would be a fool to miss out on her.
I hope that she continues to release songs and gain a huge fanbase. She can release them up to soundcloud like now and on youtube plus other places. If a label hasn't noticed her yet they will once they see how many people are willing to buy her stuff.

Have we figured out if she's actually free from Blackground yet?

I think whoever posted that earlier had read that thread on ATRL about JoJo being dropped from Interscope (not realizing that it was BG who were dropped from Interscope). I'm sure it's an inevitable thing though, just considering how open she's been about the process lately. If she wasn't 100% sure she could get out of her deal, I doubt she'd publicly badmouth them.
This Andre record is just...yes! I'm gonna need Dec. 20 to come on

Drake just got a deal for his OVO Records label to be distributed through Warner. I read a rumor about him trying to get JoJo on board. I hope it's true.

That would be a good move, but she's still tied in the deal with Blackground. Actually, her team had "Free JoJo" merch at her show last night. |
