Juicy J‘s career has taken a huge step forward over the past year; His status in the Three 6 Mafia days was moderately well known but after signing to Wiz Khalifa‘s Taylor Gang imprint last year he really started to buzz again thanks to touring, merchandise, and Vlogs. Now, Juicy has a major label backing as well thanks to Columbia Records- some fellow signees are Earl Sweatshirt, Mobb Deep, Nas, The Fugees, Wu-Tang Clan, and many more. Check out what he had to say below and listen to some of our favorite Juicy J songs below, do you guys think he deserved to be signed to the Columbia Records?

“For me to be teaming up with Dr. Luke, Columbia Records & Wiz Khalifa (TGod) on my new solo album, I’m really excited for this. Were gonna call ourselves the Powerhouse 3. Look out for more.” -Juicy J
