"I'm stoked to have signed with Imagem!" said Aponte. "In the short time that I have been with them, they have already done so much for my career!!! I look forward to ongoing success with this team!"

"Angel is a talented and dedicated producer who is just starting to see the fruits of his hard work with his contribution to THA CARTER IV," noted Imagem Music USA Creative Manager Amanda Schupf.
