URBAN NEWS: Devin The Dude Leaves Rap-A-Lot

Devin the Dude is parting ways with his longtime recording base Rap-A-Lot Records. The rapper and singer would like to purse other career options. The departure marks the end of a 15 year relationship between Rap-A-Lot and the Texan, who decided not to renew his contract.

According to Devin the Dude, there was no ill will behind the split. "Rap-A-Lot has been my family for a long time and there's no bad blood at all," said the rapper, who carved a niche for himself after signing a deal with the Odd Squad on Rap-A-Lot in 1992.
