Cam'Ron Sells Juelz Santana's Contract To Def Jam For $2 Mill

The Dipset movement isn't as prevalent as it once was but, with all the label politics that have been involved, it's no secret that Juelz Santana has had a hard time pressing forward with the release of his next album, Born To Lose, Built To Win.

Partly in lew of the fact that his deal was a joint venture with Dipset and Def Jam; both sides had to be on amicable terms [as far as the setup is concerned], but no longer will that be an issue as Cam'Ron has sold Juelz Santana's contract to Def Jam for $2 Mill, making him the sole proprietorship of Def Jam Records in the process.

Now, while this move will benefit Juelz the most, I think Cam was put in a position to pull the trigger on this because Juelz is a really talented M.C. He's not quite on par with some of the greats, but what he lacks in versatility and hip-hop "quotability", he more than makes up in swagga. By far, Juelz is one of the most confident M.C.'s in the game right now [next to Lil' Wayne] and I'm glad I'll get to see him shine as a free agent. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's still Dipset for life, but I think Juelz should take advantage of this golden opportunity and shine bright [finally] in his OWN right.
