Darrell Cole is closing out 2019 with a bang. The rapper signed a record deal with Empire, home to big artists such as Anderson Paak, Jacquees, Rapsody, Tyga & many more, today and wrote history as he’s the first-ever Sierra Leonean-Belgian artist to sign to the American record label & distribution company. He shared the news earlier today via Instagram. Cole hasn’t been releasing a lot of music this year but has be seen in the studio with Samuel Kareem, who you might know from his impeccable productions for emerging Dutch artist Rimon, so we’re pretty sure he’ll be dropping a lot of new music in 2020.
