Montana French native New York is one of the most crowded about rapper in 2012. Born Karim Kharbuch in Morocco France Montana quickly exploded in the New York Rap Underground Rap arena. He founded his own label Cocaine City Records. Under the label, he made a series of mixture tapes called ‘Cocaine City’ after drawing inspiration from the DVD series ‘Smack’. With the name Young French, he used DVD as a means to display his talent as an underground artist. It attracted the attention of Akon who quickly signed it to the Muzik Conical but the French language saw his dream quickly destroyed when his album was delayed for 3 years. But that did not stop the momentum, he then signed a joint venture with Bad Boy Records and Maybach Music triggered Buzz among hip hop critics and music fans. This is a dream come true. Montana France gained $ 3 million in 2011 and 2012 from guest, mixtapes, and tour features but the album failed to live until Hype.
Montana French debut record, my French reason is estimated to sell more than 500,000 copies in the fourth quarter of 2013. This album follows several number 1 singles, and is strange with Nicki Minaj but this album debut only sells 56,000 copies in the first week. Failed to meet expectations and label sales dropped 30% the following week. 3 months later the album still failed even reaching 96,000 copies in sold.
The joint venture between Maybach Music and Bad Boy is worth $ 2 million. This label also spends more than $ 1.2 million in production, superior artists, and distribution and promotion. Unfortunately French must pay the money back and with low sales it will be long before he sees profits.
