(AllHipHop News) Gorilla Zoe is working on a new album, after recently completing a deal with Block Entertainment, E1 and Atlantic Records.



The new deal will allow the rapper's third studio album King Kong to be on shelves by October.



"A new era of Block Entertainment is launching through my partnership with eOne and Atlantic," Russell "Block" Spencer told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "Gorilla Zoe is first up on my team to takeover with his third solo album, King Kong."



Block Entertainment is known for launching or helping guide the careers of artists like Boyz N Da Hood, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Jody Breeze and others.



“I’m thrilled to be working with Block Entertainment and Atlantic Records," said E1 President Alan Grunblatt. "Gorilla Zoe is a great artist and Block is a music visionary. Three labels are better than one!”



Gorilla Zoe's new album King Kong has an official release date of October 26th.

Gorilla Zoe Looks Back On His 28 Mixtapes In 28 Days Feat

Gorilla Zoe Looks Back On His 28 Mixtapes In 28 Days Feat
February 28, 2010 12:02:00 PM CST | by Krysten Hughes

Rapper Gorilla Zoe, who released one mixtape per day, for the entire month of February, took some time to speak with Ozone Magazine about the venture, upcoming projects and his label situation.

When asked what his favorite mixtape is of the 28 released, he replied "They all got jewels on them, every last one of them got a jewel on them, and some got more than others. Definitely after the 28 mixtapes are done I’m going to compile my own personal out of all of them, now that’s going be crazy."

Currently, the Atlanta rapper is signed to Block Entertainment and Bad Boy, but that may change shortly. Gorilla Zoe told Ozone, "Bad Boy isn’t with Atlantic anymore, but Atlantic decided to keep me. So, Block and Atlantic are going through negotiations right now."

Upcoming plans for Gorilla Zoe are in the works, including a studio album that is currently being negotiated by his label, but don't expect another day to day mixtape release. "I’m going wait for a while until the people say they want some more music then I’m going go in again. Never will I do this again, and never will it be done, not this way anyway. Niggas do a lot of swag jacking – I gave niggas the blueprint, and I can do this 365 days a year."
