Reason And TDE Split

Last year, it became clear that things were not going well between Reason and his label, TDE.

Nobody from the label showed up to the release party for his album, Porches.

Nor did they execute any of his rollout ideas for the project.

Now, Reason and TDE have officially split.

“THE LAST 7 YEARS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE, AND I’VE APPRECIATED ALL THE TIME AND EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE COME WITHIN THAT SPAN OF TIME,” he wrote. “I CANT EVEN PUT INTO WORDS THE SURREAL FEELING I VE HAD OF BEING ABLE TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS, EXPRESSIONS, EMOTIONS, STORIES, AND EXPERIENCES WITH YOU ALL THROUGH THE PLATFORM PROVIDED TO ME BY TOP DAWG ENTERTAINMENT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT COMES WITH GREAT APPRECIATION AND EXCITEMENT THAT I WANT TO ANNOUNCE MY SPLIT WITH TDE. I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE THANK YOU TO TOP HIMSELF, NOT ONLY FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE TO LIVE OUT MY DREAM BUT ALSO FOR HEARING ME AND UNDERSTANDING MY DECISION TO TRAVEL A DIFFERENT PATH AFTER THE YEARS. THERE’S TRULY NO WORDS FOR THE AMOUNT OF RESPECT I HAVE FOR YOU, AND THAT’LL NEVER CHANGE, NO MATTER WHAT.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK EVERY SINGLE TDE FAN WHO EMBRACED ME AND ALLOWED ME TO SHARE MY MUSIC WITH THEM. THERE’S NO WORLD IN WHICH YOU DON’T MEAN THE ABSOLUTE MOST TO ME. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, A THANK YOU TO ALL THE ARTISTS WHO EMBRACED ME.

“THANK YOU FOR BEING A CONSTANT INSPIRATION AND EAR WHILE TRYING TO NAVIGATE THIS INDUSTRY AND MUSIC. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE TIME AND A HUGE THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. EXCITED FOR WHAT COMES NEXT!”

He also thanked his lawyers for helping him through the process.
