Check out which artists have inked new record label deals this week, including M.I.A. and Atlas Genius.

M.I.A. has joined the roster of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation management company. The label announced the news on Twitter by writing “The nation just keeps growing” along with a photo of the singer. Rihanna, who is also signed to Roc Nation, tweeted, “Welcome home MIA.” The singer, who is working on a new album tentatively titled, Matangi, remains signed with Interscope so it’s unclear exactly how this deal will shift M.I.A.’s career path.

Hardcore punk band TRC has signed with No Sleep Records. The London band will record a new album this fall. No Sleep president Chris Hansen said in a statement, “Ever since i started No Sleep i have been looking for a good mix of Hardcore and Metalcore to bring to this label, and when my good friends from another Southern California label showed me TRC I fell in love. They create what i think is a perfect blend of Hardcore, Metalcore (and a dash of The Streets – an all-time fave of mine) with a hint of British cockiness that i love. It is completely different from everything on the label, just like everything on the label – and that is a good thing.” You can check out a new track, “#TEAMUK,” below:

Razor & Tie has added Defiler to its roster. The Northern California group is currently making a new album, which will be released later this year. Lead singer Jake Pelzl said, “Words cannot describe how excited I am about signing with Razor & Tie. I’ve always had massive respect for the label, because of the diverse roster and bands I love, and they’re just the greatest people ever. I feel like the new album is a true showcase to what all of us can do as a band. We’re going further with the melody, the brutality; I’m playing around with lots of different lyrical ideas. I hope for it to really make an impression in the world of heavy music.” Check out new track “Lucky 38″ below:
