Kendrick Lamar's PGLang Label Signs L.A. Rapper Tanna Leone

by Daryl Nelson

Last year it was announced that Kendrick Lamar was parting ways with his label Top Dawg Entertainment. 

He'll be releasing one more album under TDE, then putting out music through his own company, pgLang.

Now, K Dot and his partner Dave Free have signed Los Angeles rapper Tanna Leone in a partnership with Def Jam.  

Leone put out two new songs to go along with the deal, "Lucky” and “With the Villains."

“We’re excited to welcome Tanna Leone and pgLang to the Def Jam family as valued partners,” said Def Jam's CEO Tunji Balogun in a press release. “I’m lucky to have been able to connect with Kendrick and Dave during the early stages of my career as friends and collaborators, and I’m thrilled to be able to extend that relationship here at Def Jam. Tanna is a dynamic and multi-talented new voice and we’re honored to be a part of his development and success.”

"When pgLang launched, I knew that’s where my home was,” said Leone. “It’s an honor to join my brothers on this journey of shaping the future of media and entertainment."
