In an email posted on Miss Info’s website, Juelz had this to say about his contract being sold to Def Jam:

“A! What’s good !! Yeah, I’m free!! And ready to do me!! But its still Dip Set 4 life!! Its just going to be a new chapter!!” he stated. Although he said that it was “still Dip Set 4 life,” he followed by addressing his relationship with Killa Cam. (more…)
