 Entertainment One, Block Entertainment and Atlantic Records are set to release the new album by Atlanta Rapper Gorilla Zoe.  Zoe will release his third studio album, King Kong, on October 26th, 2010. Alan Grunblatt, President of Entertainment One Music says, "I'm thrilled to be working with Zoe. He's great artist and visionary....Three labels are better than one".

Block Entertainment, created and run by Russell “Block” Spencer is a force in southern hip hop.  Block was responsible for creating Boyz N Da Hood (Big Gee, Jody Breeze, Big Duke and Young Jeezy). He has also signed, along with Jeezy, Rick Ross and Ciara, and is still involved in their deals. He completed a partnership with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in early 2006 for a seminal multi-million-dollar label deal between Bad Boy South and Block Entertainment.  Many successful projects have followed suit including Young Joc’s albums New Joc City and Hustlenomics, Boyz N Da Hood’s sophomore LP Back Up in Da Chevy, as well as Gorilla Zoe’s solo albums.

 

Gorilla Zoe originally replaced Young Jeezy as a member of Boyz N Da Hood, followed by notable collaborations with Yung Joc on "Coffee Shop" and "Bottle Poppin'." His first solo album, 2007’s Welcome to the Zoo, peaked at #18 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on Top Rap Albums Chart. His second solo album, 2009’s Don't Feed Da Animals, featured the single "Lost,” and topped the Billboard Top Rap Albums chart.
