RapGodfathers.com is reporting that Yung Joc has signed a deal with Jive Records to release an album by Hotstylz from his Swagg Team Entertainment imprint.

You may recall that Joc appeared on a track they made called "Lookin Boy". We wrote about it in February.

DJ Hershey introduced the group to Joc and gave them a copy of the record. “He gave me a copy of it,” recounts the Block Entertainment/Bad Boy South artist. "My assistant got on the internet, she found them, got in touch with them, flew 'em down three days after that," Joc told RapGodfathers.com. "I talked to them, we re-did the record. Three days after we re-did the record, we had a deal on the table from Jive."

The President at Urban Music for Jive/Zomba is Mark Pitts, former manager to Biggie and friend to Diddy.

As an aside, the article also says that Joc is working with his father to independently release a line of sunglasses under the brand name of Claudio St. James.
