BOBBY VALENTINO INKS DEAL WITH EMI & OWN LABEL BLUE KOLLA ENTERTAINMENT.....

Bobby Valentino will be back in full force as he's just told SOHH that he has inked a new deal with EMI and his own label Blue Kolla Entertainment, after he was reportedly dropped from Def Jam, and leaving Ludacris's Disturbing Tha Peace label.

Bobby will now record and release an independent album prior to the new deal. Good to see R&B acts making a stand with their music careers. Bobby is now following in the footsteps of Syleena Johnson (Jive), Ray-J (Elektra) and Tamia (Elektra/Atlantic) who all went independent after departing from their major record labels.
