West Coast hip hop star WC has launched his own label, Big Swang. The rapper is prepping a new album, Revenge of the Barracuda, for release this spring under the imprint. The first single, the Ice Cube-assisted “You Know Me,” is a joint release between Big Swang and Entertainment One music.
“It feels good to the joint venture with eOne because I get the chance to continue to do what I do best, and that’s being a street artist making records for the streets,” WC told AllHipHop.
“It’s an honor and privilege to be working with WC once again! We made history together at Payday Records with “Curb Servin” and “The Shadiest One,” said Shadow Stokes, VP of National Urban Promotion at Entertainment One, in reference to his previous experience working with WC in the mid-1990s when the rapper fronted WC and the Maad Circle.
“He is a true staple in the West coast hip-hop community and eOne is looking forward to making more history with WC on this new album,” added Stokes.
