Former X-Factor Contestant Astro Signs Deal With L.A. Reid At Epic Records

 

Video After The Jump

 

After a disappointing end to the X-Factor season where he placed seventh, Brian Bradley has good reason to be happy today.

 

Ending weeks of speculation and rumors MTV is confirming that the 15-year old who raps under the name, The Astronomical Kid, has inked a deal with L.A. Reid at Epic Records. Reid was Astro's mentor on the show.

 

In an interview with VladTV earlier this month Astro talked about what having Reid in his corner meant to him.

 

"He's a great man. He let's me be me and that's what I respect," Astro said of Reid. "I feel like if I didn't have L.A. as a mentor I probably would have went insane."

 

Astro will appear on "RapFix Live" today at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com to talk about his new deal.

Man this kid is going to be just like Diggy Simmons. Comes out with a good flow, hip hop feel, then the machine will get ahold of him and make him sing and do songs for little girls.

not a fan of his either... he has that old school flow which doesnt provide to much internals and wordplay. rap has evolved to the point where you need to be more technical. why go backwards? but since hes just a kid i wish him luck.
