Kanye West Signs Chicago Rapper Hollywood Holt to G.O.O.D. Music

According to Holt, the signing will coincide with some new music that should arrive at some point this year. Though he is known as a rapper, with electro-pop and Chicago juke elements in his sound, his manager told Billboard that Holt's upcoming album will not have any rapping in it. "It's like if Joy Division, The Strokes and Dr. Dre made an album," said the manager.

Pusha T also supported the announcement on his Twitter saying "Congrats to the newest member of the #GOODMusic family @hxlt2015 #TheInkIsDry and music on the way..."

He will join a roster at G.O.O.D Music that already boasts signees Big Sean, Pusha T, John Legend, Q-Tip, Teyana Taylor and recently signed Kacy Hill.

We will see if Holt finds his way onto Kanye's upcoming album So Help Me God, which would be a massive break for the 32-year-old. Pusha T was signed to the imprint in 2010 and was soon thereafter featured on "So Appalled" from 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Holt first gained notoriety in 2008 when he released his single "Throw a Kit," a rework of Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's."
