Drake and his co-manager Future the Prince have signed a new production deal, as Deadline reports. Matthew Budman, formerly a producer at Annapurna Pictures (Detroit, American Hustle), has signed the two to a first-look deal through his new company Forest Hill Entertainment. “Drake and Future the Prince have been leading the way as artists in the music and fashion arena and I’m honored to be collaborating with them as they continue to broaden their influence in the original content space,” Budman said in a statement.

“Drake and I are thrilled to partner with our longtime friend at the inception of Forrest Hill Entertainment, supporting Matthew and his team as they set new, unprecedented boundaries of groundbreaking content,” Future the Prince said in a statement. “This partnership aligns strongly with our mission of developing and fostering emerging and preeminent talent across the entertainment landscape.”

Earlier this week, Drake announced the “Assassination Vacation” European tour, with Tory Lanez and DJ Tiffany Calver to join him. His most recent album Scorpion was released last year.
