Ultra Music Publishing and RVG Publishing have partnered to ink hip-hop producer Nik Dean to a global pub deal.
The Vienna native’s most recent work includes co-production with Wheezy on Gunna’s “25k Jacket” f/Lil Baby, featured on Gunna’s #1 album DS4EVER. He also collaborated with Baby Keem on the 2020 trailer for Kendrick Lamar’s PgLang and has previously worked with Anuel AA, Tory Lanez, G-Eazy, Miguel, The Game, Kodak Black,NAV, Fivio Foreign, Quavo, Tyga and Kenny Beats, among others.
“I am beyond excited to welcome Nik to the global Ultra family,” said Andreas Rizek, Senior Director of A&R at Ultra.“Matt G, Matt B & The Revels Group are a leading management company and I’m excited to start this partnership and journey with them.”
“Andreas was the first A&R who knew every single song I produced," added Dean. "He proved that he cares about what’s most important to me, my music and I feel like my career is in the best hands possible,” added Dean.
“Nik Dean has solidified himself in the international producer community and we are beyond thrilled to extend our management partnership with him into publishing,” said Matt Geffen, Head of A&R & Management Partner, The Revels Group.
Dean is repped by The Revels Group’s Geffen and co-CEO & Co-Founder’s Jamil Davis and Matt Bauerschmidt, and Matt Buser at Buser Legal.
