In December of 2013, Jam The Hype reported that Orlando, Florida-based artist Deraj inked a record deal with Derek Minor’s Reflection Music Group. About a month later, RMG revealed that they signed Nashville, Tennessee-based emcee B.Cooper. Both artists have dropped projects (B.Cooper – Spare Change, Deraj – Mirrors & Medicine, B.Cooper – While the City Sleeps) since joining the RMG family. At SXSW 2015, Deraj confirmed that he will be recording a project with his label-mate B.Cooper in an interview with Jam The Hype’s Chris Chicago.
