Someone that was secretly signed to a major and built up a following with their help , then later 'announced' they signed to them like they weren't already

Edit: there's more to it I'll add later

This applies to a few rappers.... particularly Wiz.

Dude got dropped from Warner, hit the indie grind... signed with Atlantic, got a huge push with Kush & OJ...and then "officially" signed.

that's Astroturfing.... it makes the come up look more authentic,and the rapper "worthy" of being where they are.

Myself
J Cole really might be the best example of a plant

- His mysterious appearance at LA Reid's sons 16th birthday....and getting on Camera....at the age of fukking 21.

- Being Roc Nations first German Rapper

- Getting signed by Jay....after his first mixtape :heh:
I be tryna tell nikkaz about j.coli. I love what he stands for at the end of the day but he's no more of a Plant than the next one
