Hip Hop Since 1978 – Kanye West’s management team – has signed a partnership with Bryant Management to co-represent Lil Wayne. They will now work together with Lil Wayne’s manager, Cortez Bryant to further his career in music, TV, and film.

“I’m excited to bring Hip-Hop Since 1978 onto the team,” says Bryant, who runs Young Money Entertainment. “I’m positive their combined experience, expertise and well-cultivated relationships will help us take Wayne’s career to the next level.”

Wayne’s album “Tha Carter 3″ is due out this summer, also with production by Kanye West.
