Chief Keef has finally found a home. After being recruited by labels such as Cash Money Records, Grand Hustle, and more recently, Young Jeezy's CTE imprint, the Chicago upstart has decided to sign with Jimmy Iovine and Interscope Records. Minutes before hitting the stage Saturday night as a guest of T.I.'s at Atlanta's Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash, he spoke with MTV's Rob Markman on his new label situation and signing a publishing deal with Dr. Dre.
''I've been talkin' to a lot of labels, but I just noticed that Interscope got people like 50, Eminem. They was talkin' good to me, they was talkin' like I was talkin' and I liked that. All these other labels, I was talkin' to 'em, but it's time anyway for me and I'm goin' with Interscope.'

really surprised by this move. T.I./Grand Hustle seemed like a logical fit. I'm hoping he doesn't get lost in the shuffle at Interscope. working with Dre is gonna blow him for real '

I don't mean to sound rude, but jit is straight GARBAGE'
Interscope? Da-Fuq? They have been messing up w/ me since they told that rapper chick Iggy Azalea that she's the new Tupac just to gas her & sign her & she STILL turned them down. I really don't understand these labels mane.
Now I can see Cash Money signing him' they signing EVERYBODY' my great auntie just signed to them 5 minutes a go'.

He is aware that Interscope doesn't release albums from rappers unless their name is Eminem?
