Did You Know: Mike Posner Signed With A Major Record Label
(First of all, I’m back for real now. The past three days I’ve been driving on I-75, couch surfing, and moving in to a new apartment. With the Internet 100% today, Hiptics is officially back on the grind.-Cfro)
If you’re unfamiliar with Mike Posner’s music, the Michigan-native released a great mixtape earlier this summer entitled A Matter Of Time. Posner’s stoner-hit, “Drug Dealer Girl,” was featured on the free mixtape.
Earlier this month, word got out that Mike Posner signed a major record deal with J Records. Much like Drake, Posner had major labels knocking on his door as the buzz about A Matter Of Time continued to get bigger. Nice move, Mike.
Posner is a close friend of G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam recording artist Big Sean. I interviewed Big Sean earlier this summer and asked him about his relationship with the singer. Here’s what he said -
Hiptics.com: You were talking about crossing genres. I noticed you’ve been doing a lot of collaborations with [singer] Mike Posner. I was wondering as to how that relationship came to be.
Big Sean: Well me and Mike Posner been buddies before he was ‘Mike Posner’ and before I was really ‘Big Sean.’ Me and him used to go over to eachothers houses and work on music and just kick it. We’re really just friends before anything so it’s kind of crazy that me and him are both doing well in music and getting a name for ourselves. I don’t know how many other life stories are like that where people are in the industry and were really friends before. Me and him are just buddies, and we’re definitely going to keep making music together. I just talked to him yesterday actually about some new stuff.
Side Note: My homie from the 239, Zach G., got a chance to interview Posner right after he signed with J Records. Although it was not discussed in the interview, Zach was one of the first people to find out the good news. Click here to read Zach’s interview with Mike Posner.
