Belly, a Canadian rapper who has been helping to craft music for several stars in the industry, has reportedly signed a deal with with Jay Z’s Roc Nation. After co-writing six of The Weeknd’s songs, including ‘The Hills’, Belly had generated a significant buzz among music industry insiders.
Belly said during an interview with Billboard how a simple conversation with Jay Z, led to the deal
‘I think I just got the right ears with it to the point where Jay Z was interested and heard it and invited me over’, .
‘And we had a conversation and that was that, you know? A man’s handshake, that’s all it takes sometimes’.
‘I’m somebody who really likes to, rather than rush things, take a step back and look at the bigger picture,’ Belly says.
‘And for me, I knew that to come over here and to play in the big leagues, per se, it was going to take a lot more than to sit around and keep making the same type of music I was making before.
‘I felt like I needed to experience more in my life, I got out more and traveled and did things, I wrote a lot more, did songwriting for a bunch of people.
‘And it led me back and that’s where I’m at right now.’
