15-year-old hip hop star Astro is continuing his upward rise as the former X Factor contestant just landed a deal with Epic Records.  Brian Bradley will be back with his coach L.A. Reid at Epic, joining Chris Rene, Marcus Canty, and X Factor winner Melanie Amaro.  Astro was the first hip hop artist on a major network music competition.  He was well received for his personality and musical talent, which all came at such a young age.  Congrats to Astro on taking the next big step in his career.
