There's no denying that Dr. Dre has possibly one of the best ears for new talent. He has signed hiphop icons like Snoop Dogg and Eminem, but Dr. Dre has another asset to show off. The multi-millionaire entrepreneur, co-founder of N.W.A and hiphop mastermind has found a new protege; 23-year-old Garland, Texas native Justin Mohrle.
It turns out the newcomer in 2012 released 21: Live Forever, a free mixtape under the name Love, JT, which apparently was "highly regarded among Dallas hip-hop fans" but fell through the cracks.
Mohrle was then introduced to Dr. Dre through former Death Row Records artist (and fellow Texan) The D.O.C. who, as part of a team, produced a demo EP on the new artist to pitch to Dr. Dre. Mohrle reportedly signed a 360-degree deal with D.O.C.'s entertainment company Silverback.
When we hear from him next, he'll likely be known as Justin Night, seeing as Justin Timberlake has JT on lock. But only time will tell if his career will be more like Kendrick Lamar than Stat Quo's.
Look out for this young star on the rise!
