Hip Hop's newest hook girl is gearing up for a solo career.
Skylar Grey has signed to Interscope Records and producer Alex Da Kid's Wonderland Music, reports rap-up.com.
The singer, who has been featured on songs such as Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor," featuring Eminem, Lupe Fiasco's "Words I Never Said," and the original version of Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," is due to release a lead single this spring, with an album to follow this year.
Grey has made two high-profile appearances on stage so far this year, the first of which was for a live rendition of "I Need a Doctor" at last month's Grammy Awards. Yesterday (March 10), she performed the song she co-wrote for Diddy-Dirty Money, "Coming Home," on "American Idol."
"Getting to perform on television with Eminem and Dr. Dre still doesn't feel real to me and now to perform with Diddy-Dirty Money in the course of a month is unreal," said Skylar. "I'm really excited about the opportunity to perform on 'Idol.' It's incredible to have all of this leading into my album coming this year-I am so fortunate."
Alex Da Kid will be producing the album.
