Empire’s Own, Bryshere Gray Snags A Major Label Record Deal – blogged by: @Chargotit

It seems like the best way to get discovered is to star on a hit TV show!

Recently, Jussie Smollett (Jamal Lyon) of “Empire” signed a record deal with Columbia Records. Now, fellow castmate, Bryshere Gray (Hakeem Lyon) has snagged a record deal on a major label.

The Philly actor will go by the stage name Yazz The Great. During a promotional run for the hit show “Empire” Yazz confirmed that the record deal is with a major label but he did not mention the label’s name. He did say that names like Snoop Dogg and Timbaland are involved with the project and his first album is coming soon.

The music of “Empire” has been really hot. We’re looking forward to see how the “Drip Drop” rapper will create his own sound on the debut album. Congratulations!
