Bubba Sparxxx, a talented enough guy whose career has seen its share of twists and turns, has signed a new label deal with Koch records. Better news still, he has a record on the way.

"Bubba Sparxxx is the rapper's rapper," Koch general manager Alan Grunblatt said (via statement) in announcing the deal. "He continually surprises his fans with his diversity and comes out with hit after hit. We're thrilled to be working with him."

The album, as-yet-untitled and set for a “summer 2008” release, will try to follow up the success of 2006’s The Charm, which spawned hit single “Ms. New Booty” (also known by its alternate title, “most annoying cell phone ring ever ever ever”). It will be Sparxxx’s fourth studio LP.
