This was said to have been spotted on a Mediabase newsletter…..we have spotted it on various media outlets:
R&B singer and occasional model Cassie, who had one of the biggest 2006 rhythm-crossover hits with the minimal electro Ryan Leslie produced “Me & U” and has since then been signed under Sean Diddy Combs exclusive Bad Boy/Interscope distribution partnership, has now inked another deal with Drake and Noah “40″ Shebib’s OVO Sound, their first big signing. Riding high on the release of her new mixtape RockaByeBaby, well-received by fans and critics, Cassie is now preparing for a new single later this year, followed by her sophomore LP next Spring.
I feel that, if this is true, Drake is going to make her into the viable artist that Diddy — too busy having sex with her, perhaps — couldn’t quite pan out in the world of Pop/R&B. I will say: that last mixtape is jammin’, though.
