FRESH BLOOD IN THE CRUSH HOUSE

Three artists were just signed to the Crush Music writing and producing roster: Terrace Martin, Skylar Grey and Illangelo.

Martin—a Jazz musician and multi-instrumentalist—works largely in hip-hop, having produced integral parts of Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly. Grey, who's widely known for co-writing Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie," has also worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Eminem, P!nk and Nicki Minaj. And Illangelo, who was involved in developing The Weeknd, most recently worked on Fall Out Boy's "Last of the Real Ones"—now approaching 100m streams.

In celebration, Bob, J.D. and Kruchkow have been dancing around the office with a chair, holding A&R ringleader Evan Taubenfeld, hoisted above their heads.
