BRYAN LEACH CLEARS UP ASAP ROCKY'S 3 MILLION DOLLAR DEAL

As speculation continues to intensify surrounding Harlem rap newcomer A$AP Rocky's $3 million signing to Polo Grounds/RCA, the company's president Bryan Leach has ironed out the confusion. According to Leach, the $3 million deal includes marketing, budget and other vital assets within a recording contract. This is what he had to say... "What he was saying was, when you look at his deal, between the marketing, the promotion, the A&R budget, the advance, the life of the deal--this is what it comes up to," Leach told XXL. "It's no different than an NBA contract if you factor in bonuses. It was definitely a competitive deal, and it was worth every penny, but it wasn't 3 million dollars in his pocket." Though he denied that the deal put three million dollars in Rocky's bank account, Leach wouldn't confirm what the exact number was. "That's putting out his personal business," he said. "It was a competitive deal. I will say that every single label out there was trying to sign the kid, and he took one or two meetings and went with his gut and his heart. It wasn't because of money. It wasn't a big a** bidding war. But it was a competitive deal. It also factors in his A$AP Crew."
