CHAKA ZULU TO JOIN SPOTIFY

Prominent artist manager and Disturbing Tha Peace Records co-founder Chaka Zulu has announced he will be joining Spotify as Head of Artist and Talent Relations.

Zulu has guided the career of superstar Ludacris since the two met at Atlanta radio station WHTA (Hot 97.5) in the 1990s. He's credited with being the main force behind Luda's successful transition into acting, a blueprint that's been followed by many other hip hop artists since.

"In my role, I will lead the strategy for how we interact with creators, identifying new and innovative ways to work together. I can’t wait to dive into what is sure to be an exciting ride with an amazing and talented team," Zulu wrote on IG.
