Red Bull Records has announced the re-signing of hip-hop breakthrough Blxst. The extended global partnership encompasses his full-length album, due in 2022.
The pact also entails a joint venture with Blxst's company, Evgle, which he co-founded with manager Victor Burnett and attorney Karl Fowlkes. Red Bull and Evgle will work in tandem to sign and develop new talent.
“Blxst has established himself as a groundbreaking international artist through his visionary sound and an unrivaled dedication to his craft. We look forward to amplifying this next chapter of his career alongside Evgle,” said Red Bull Records Managing Director Greg Hammer. “Our SVP/Head of A&R, Kenny Salcido, and our VP of A&R, Charles Burks III, were passionately involved in the project from the beginning and have been instrumental in the continuation of this partnership.”
“Everything we’re building at Evgle centers around innovation, family and community,” said Blxst. “As I enter the next phase of my career as an artist and business owner, I’m excited to continue our partnership with Red Bull Records, a company that has supported my vision.”
Blxst has amassed 400m+ streams to date and is up for Best New Hip-Hop Artist at the 2021 BET Hip-Hop Awards.
