Following news that Kanye West’s GOOD Music have inked a publishing deal with producer Evian Christ comes an even more surprising revelation that Grimes has penned a management contract with Jay Z’s Roc Nation company.
Avant-popper Claire Boucher joins the likes of Haim, M.I.A, Rihanna, Matthew Dear and, err, Kylie Minogue at Roc Nation, announcing the deal via her Tumblr page.
A new Grimes album is widely expected to drop during 2014. Before then, she’s posted the following picture of her throwing Hov’s signature diamond sign.
