If you don't know the name BIG CAT RECORDS, you probably are just more familiar with the artists on the roster. With Gucci Mane ("So Icy," "My Chain," "Pillz," "Freaky Gurl"), Rasheeda ("Bubble Gum" and "Georgia Peach), and Maceo ("Hoe Sit Down" and "Nextel Chirp") lining the ranks, label CEO Marlon Rowe can take his label to the next level.
Well it appears he is poised to do just that, as he brokered a seven-figure deal with Atlantic Records (T.I., B.G.) for Gucci Mane after serving a 14-month sentence in federal prison on a gun charge. "I've had a lot of time to think and I'm a lot wiser now," says Rowe. His label was most recently lauded by Billboard Magazine for being one of the Top 15 R&B and Hip-Hop labels of 2005.
We wish Mr. Rowe and Big Cat Records much success in the future. With several hits on Gucci Mane's latest Hard to Kill, it is no suprise that labels would be breaking their backs to sign such a proven talent. Stay informed as we hope to speak with Gucci, Rasheeda and other Big Cat artists in the very near future.
