ODB Signs To Roc-A-Fella

"I think what y'all are witnessing is an evolution of an empire."
That's what Roc-A-Fella CEO Damon Dash boldly stated as he
introduced the newest member of his hip-hop empire, Ol' Dirty
Bastard.

As he has in the past, when ODB enters a different stage in his
life, he changes his alias. This time he is going by Dirt McGirt,
which is also the name of his clothing line he was proudly
sporting at the press conference held yesterday at the Rihga
Royal Hotel. ODB says that he is looking forward to a future with
Roc-A-Fella and that he's happy to "be out." "They tried to lock
me in, I went from Clinton to Marcy Correctional, from Marcy I
went to Manhattan State Hospital. I was running around being
Dirt McGirt and then they was saying 'what about this cat right
here, he seem a little crazy'. So you know I had to hit them with a
couple of Dirt McGirt Wear...and they let me go!" He said as a
rupture of laughter filled the room.

Dash stated that his reason for signing ODB was because any
opportunity that he sees a good person who's talented and is
looking to get money, he can care less about what everyone else
thinks of them. This in reference to ODB's past run-ins with the
law and mental institutions. Although no specified amount of the
deal was disclosed, Dash welcomed the newest member of his
family with the trademark Roc-A-Fella chain, as a gold mouthed,
healthier ODB joyfully accepted. Dash also revealed that the
union between the two came about after an executive from VH1,
who also was documenting the conference, saw an episode of
Driven and "quickly made it happen."

Not only does ODB look and sound better. He made sure he let
the public know that he felt as good as he looks. He was in good
spirits and had a more positive outlook on his career and life in
general. He also says he looks forward to working with artists
such as 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and Ghostface Killah. When
asked if he planned on doing anything with any other members of
the Wu-Tang Clan, Dash quickly answered for him, "anything he
wants!"

Others in attendance were Roc-a-Fella labelmate Rell and Mariah
Carey, whose entrance proved that she is definitely still a diva.
ODB's mother whom was by his side throughout the entire
conference.

Killah Priest, who is a former member of the Wu-Tang spin off
group Sunz of Man, had this to say about ODB's new business
venture, "Whoa! It's all good. He's doing him, I gotta do me."

Can't wait for the album...Old Dirty and 50 Cent
