This is better than the Cash Me Outside Girl, right?

Less than a year after signing Danielle Bregoli (who became famous after this appearance on Dr. Phil), Atlantic Records has signed yet another viral internet star.

Mason Ramsey — an 11-year-old who was meme-d into information super highway stardom and then thrust onto the Coachella Stage after his yodeling rendition of Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues” at a Kentucky Walmart when viral last month — has signed a joint deal between Atlantic and Big Loud. 

“I’d been to Nashville a few times before, but never thought something like this would happen," Ramsey said in a statement. "It’s a dream to sign with Atlantic and Big Loud. I loved recording ‘Famous’ and can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

Listen to Ramsey's single below.
