Well, this was a long time coming. Kanye West has been closely affiliated with Harlem rapper/singer Teyana Taylor for some time now, but this week it was confirmed that Taylor has officially been signed to 'Ye's G.O.O.D. Music label.
The 21-year-old singer-songwriter and actress, who worked with West on his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, will reveal details about her first G.O.O.D. Music LP and forthcoming singles in the next few weeks. In April she debuted a new mixtape, The Misunderstanding of Teyana Taylor, which pays tribute to Lauryn Hill and her other early influences, including Mary J. Blige and Janet Jackson.
Taylor got her start in the industry when she was signed to Pharrell William's Star Trak record label at the age of 15, and some fans might remember her over-the-top episode of MTV's "My Super Sweet 16." Her debut album, 2008's From a Planet Called Harlem, featured the breakout single "Google Me," and Taylor has since earned plenty of co-writing credits on recent songs like Nicki Minaj's "Right By My Side," which appeared on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Taylor worked closely with West on MBDTF's "Hell of a Life," "Runaway," "Dark Fantasy" and the collaboration track "Christmas in Harlem," which also featured G.O.O.D. Music's CyHi the Prynce.
Her recent onscreen endeavors include roles in 2010's "Stomp the Yard 2" and Tyler Perry's 2011 film "Madea's Big Happy Family." Last summer, the 21-year-old also grabbed attention with her remix of Drake's hit single "Marvin's Room." "Her Room" found Taylor sampling lyrics from Lauryn Hill's "X Factor," as she came to terms with a cheating ex.
The G.O.O.D. news just keeps coming from Kanye West's camp. Last month the super producer/rapper signed veteran Q-Tip to his Def Jam imprint.
