Reason joined TDE in August 2018 and has since released three projects under the label, including “New Beginnings,” “Porches,” and a re-released version of his mixtape, “There You Have It.” Despite his time with TDE, Reason has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the label over the years.
During an appearance on the Back on Figg podcast in August 2023, Reason voiced his frustrations with TDE not providing him with the same level of support as other artists on the roster. He specifically mentioned that the label missed out on securing certain features for him, affecting the overall excitement and rollout of his music.
In response to Reason’s comments, TDE’s co-president, Anthony “Moosa” Tiffith Jr., called into the podcast to address the situation. Moosa explained that while Reason could have secured certain features, it may not have significantly boosted his popularity or career in the long run.
Reason later spoke about his uncertain relationship with TDE in March, revealing that he was still signed to the label but unsure of the future. He described the situation as “delicate” and expressed confusion about the current state of his affiliation with TDE.
Additionally, Reason faced backlash from TDE fans after showing support for Drake’s diss tracks aimed at Kendrick Lamar. Despite clarifying that he was simply a fan of the sport, the incident created tensions within the fanbase.
Overall, Reason’s journey with TDE has been met with challenges and uncertainties, highlighting the complexities of artist-label relationships in the music industry.
