Former MTV reality show contestant-turned-rapper, Riff Raff, apparently landed a record deal last year, inking a deal with Soulja Boy’s SODMG imprint. The 20-year-old rap star delivered the news in a simple tweet on Wednesday (June 1), welcoming the Internet rapper to his label.

“everybody welcome my newest artist @RiFFRAFF_SODMG to SODMG,” Soulja Boy wrote (@SouljaBoy).

In response, Riff Raff thanked his new label boss with a tweet of his own. “THANK YOU @SOULJABOY …. iM BOU TO ‘BRiNG THE RiCE OUT’,” he wrote (@RIFFRAFF_SODMG), adding: “THE PRiCE OF RiCE WiLL BE AS HiGH AS GAS PRiCES …. DUE TO ALL THiS “RICE BRiNGTATiON’ ”

Since the announcement, Riff Raff has been tweeting and retweeting his legion of fans and supporters (over 100K) who have congratulated him on the latest development in his career. And, he even dropped a nearly three-minute freestyle called “Soulja Boy Signed Me”, in which he brags about how bright his future is now that he’s signed. Details regarding the deal were unknown at press time.

Riff Raff hails from Houston, Texas. He first came onto the scene in 2009, when he appeared as a contestant of Fonzworth Bentley’s MTV reality show, “From G’s to Gents”, during its second second. Although he was eliminated in the second episode, Riff Raff ran with his newfound fan, and has been heavily marketing himself on the Internet ever since.

Born and raised on a small island just outside of Detroit, DJ Benzi has
separated himself from the competition over his 26 years. After picking
up his degree in Business Economics at Western Michigan University,
Benzi relocated to Ann Arbor to pursue a career in the entertainment
field full time. He started growing his roots as a Club DJ at the age
of 17, but it wasn’t until he started producing and hitting the mixtape
circuit that he really started gaining the attention he deserved.
In the past two years Benzi’s buzz has skyrocketed on the strength of
his patented “refixes,” especially the refreshing work he has done with
the Clipse and Lil Wayne on the popular “We Got The Remix” series.
DJ Benzi is most known for his creative twist on bridging the club/DJ
culture with that of commercial hip-hop.
The Detroit-area remix maven is rapidly gaining notoriety and in 2008
alone he was selected to URB Magazine’s Next 100 list and has shown
up in Fader Magazine, Rolling Stone, XXL, The Washington Post, and
MTV. His buzz grew deafening at the end of 2008 when he released an
official remix project with Kanye West & Plain Pat entitled “Sky High.”
The project received 350,000 listens within its first day of release,
making it one of social networking site Imeem’s most streamed
media. Also in 2008, Benzi teamed up with his friend Diplo to produce
the Paper Route Gangstaz “Fear & Loathing In Hunts Vegas” mixtape,
which Pitchfork Media gave an outstanding 7.8 rating.
Along with the remix albums, his own debut album, “Get Right,” on
Amalgam Digital is in the works with a release date set for this summer.
Over the last two years Benzi has also been on the road rocking shows
all over the world and performing along side talent such as Diplo, the
Clipse, the Cool Kids, Mick Boogie, and many other big names
