In addition to releasing his new album, MULTI, via Create Music Group today (Mar. 11), multiplatinum artist DJ Chose also released a new EP. 16 new tracks are included on the new EP, which was self-produced. MULTI features top artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Gucci Mane, Fredo Bang, Yung Bleu, and many more. Within a few days of the album’s release, DJ Chose posted two new music videos, “Too Late,” a song emphasizing confidence in the face of heartbreak and “Prove Me Wrong.”

To prepare fans for the full release, Chose shared the Gucci-assisted “You A Dime” ahead of time. Taking the Chose-produced beat, Gucci raps some lines about Ms. Perfect while riding a beat:

“The name ‘MULTI’ was chosen because I multitask often. Although people expect me to be a rapper, I have knowledge of music production, will market the beats myself, and will be a DJ whenever I want. I’m a multi-talented artist, and now I have a multi-platinum album,” DJ Chose says of the new release.

His remix of “THICK” with Megan Thee Stallion became a viral hit, establishing him as a name in Houston. “THICK” reached the top of the Hot 100 chart. Last year, DJ Chose released his album Took Me Forever. In addition to Fredo Bang, Chubb C,and City 3000, assistance was provided by 17 tracks. “BADDIE” was also released and “Naughty Or Nice” was released in honor of Christmas.

Pierre Thomas, the Aspiring Owner of 300 Entertainment

Trending famous hip-hop artists have been in 300 Entertainment for the longest time. These artists include; young thug, Megan Thee Stallion, Fetty Wap, Gunna, among others. 

This entertainment label has been on sale, and in the recent report, there have been some controversies that this company is on sale. The company is expected to sell at approximately 400M. Auctioneers set this price after a valuation whereby there was a business meeting on the claims. 

The label started in 2012, but it has been growing, and it’s proclaimed as an independent label in the United States of America. 

The latest bid on buying this label was placed on 30th October by this tycoon Pierre. The bid was on Twitter, and this has been a trending tweet. He has a splendid chance of owning 300 Entertainment, and he has been running his label “Pees label’. This label has been home to some artists like Migos, city girls, and others. With his experience in these types of entertainment industries, he can make the company successful. 

There are some unclear controversies about Pees ownership, and everyone is wondering if Pee purchased this label how would the distribution be handled. He has the power to fix any dents in the label now that this will be a transitional era, and there will be several labels trying to compete with it. 

Operating such a label will require an acute sense of responsibility, and Thomas can perform well in this sector. This is an opportunity he can’t seize, and he will be a great label owner!
