Jay-z has added super producer Timbaland to the Roc Nation family! It’s no surprise that Jay would sign Timbo, they have been working together for quite some time.

Timbaland has worked with almost every artist, and not to mention he produced Justin Timberlake’s new track “Suit & Tie” which features Jay-Z.

But don’t let the signed dotted line fool you. Even with the hefty co-signs from Rostrum Records labelmates Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller and more, Boaz is hustling even more than before. Tomorrow, the Pittsburgh rapper will release his free independent album, “Bases Loaded,” at 1pm EST over at Datpiff and Boaz’s official page. “Bases Loaded” includes guest appearances by Wiz, Mac, ScHoolboy Q, Freeway, Chevy Woods, and GLC.

It was only a matter of time ’til 2 Chainz signed with a major label. That time has officially come. (pause?) He confirmed to XXL that he left DTP, and is now part of the Def Jam family.

“It’s the Real University, Two Gun Gang, Street Executives. It’s not DTP no more. I’m actually behind [Ludacris], he’s still my homie. I just took another route as far as running my own company and bossing up. But on the other hand, I’m still working with him. He has an album coming out this year, as well. Matter of fact, we are label mates, now, which is crazy. So, yeah, that’ll be cool. I’m looking forward to that.”

It must be signing season ‘cuz Def Jam has been signing artists left and right.
