Detroit rap vet Obie Trice has signed with Conor McGregor’s Greenback Records, together with his first single “TBH [To Be Honest]” dropping this Friday on all streaming platforms.

Obie Trice Signs To… Conor McGregor?!

This one’s wild, y’all. Word on the road is that Detroit’s personal Obie Trice has simply signed with none aside from UFC loudmouth-turned-business mogul Conor McGregor and his Greenback Records imprint. Yeah, you learn that proper. Slim Shady’s former right-hand man linked up the MMA homie.

The first order of enterprise is a brand-new single referred to as “TBH [To Be Honest]” dropping Friday (September 12) on all streaming platforms. They’re already pushing the pre-save hyperlink heavy, so clearly McGregor is placing actual muscle behind this. I do really feel they may have carried out extra with Xzibit’s nice album, Kingmaker, however that’s one other story.

Now, Obie Trice isn’t new to this. If you recognize your Hip-Hop historical past, dude had a double platinum debut, Cheers, on Shady Records. He gave us critical joints like “Got Some Teeth” and even slid on the 8 Mile soundtrack.

That run within the early 2000s had his title ringing bells.

So why would he workforce up with Conor? Well, McGregor’s been hinting at flipping his combat cash into the music biz for some time. Greenback Records is an enormous flex and he has a couple of others on there. Scooping up a veteran like Obie is a headline grabber, therefore this write up. I can’t wait to see what they cook dinner up.

The large query is…will this be a single experiment or the beginning of an album run? McGregor’s not shy about placing his cash the place his mouth is, so I’m considering they’re going to go far. And Obie goes to do Obie. He’s at all times been about his bars—no gimmicks. This will get fascinating actually fast.
