Stretch of Active Management (Run the Jewels, Sage the Gemini) has a buzzing hip-hop act, SOB X RBE, that’s drawing much major-label attention coming off the appearance of their track “Paramedic!” on the smash Black Panther soundtrack. Two members of the Bay Area foursome have inked individual deals already—one with Steven Victor at Def Jam and the other with Joie at Interscope. The quartet is slated to appear at Jay Z’s Made in America festival in Philly on 9/1.
