The rapper signed a deal worth $10M for the release of his third album.

It's being reported that XXXTentacion actually had just signed a $10 million dollar record deal prior to his death. Sources say he had just signed a deal with Empire and was planning his third project. His first two projects have reached the charts since his death.  X, who already had a troubled past, was holding his own in the rap game, but as far as streams go, he wasn't really making waves. Now, his name is everywhere. Why do you think people become interested in an artist's work after they die?
