Bobby Valentino Signs With EMI/Blu Kolla Dreams

"I have been blessed to be in the music industry for over 10 years, and my past endeavors have been great learning experiences. Now I have the opportunity to step out on faith and use the knowledge and experience that I have gained to take my career to the next level," said Valentino in a statement.

Bobby's next album is called The Rebirth, to be released late this year. It will be his third full length, with the debut and sophomore releases going platinum and gold respectively.
