That same year, his album&nbsp;<em>Dying to Live<\/em>&nbsp;opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, moving 89,000 equivalent album units in its first week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artist\u2019s catalog runs deep with hits including \u201cTunnel Vision\u201d (No. 6 on Hot 100), \u201cRoll in Peace\u201d featuring&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/xxxtentacion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">XXXTentacion<\/a>&nbsp;(No. 31), and features on tracks like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/cardi-b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cardi B\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cBodak Yellow (Money Moves)\u201d remix and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/french-montana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">French Montana\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cLockjaw.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kodak Black has proven himself as a major live attraction. In 2024, Kodak anchored major stages including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bookingagentinfo.com\/the-agencies-behind-rolling-loud-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rolling Loud Miami<\/a>&nbsp;and the Don\u2019t Fall In Love Festival, both major platforms that book only artists with proven audience draw and ticket-moving capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His partnership with Wasserman comes at a time when the artist is actively touring, releasing new music, and leveraging his established fanbase across streaming platforms and live venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wasserman has aggressively expanded its music division in recent years, going head\u2011to\u2011head with legacy agencies such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/company\/william-morris-endeavor-wme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WME<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/company\/creative-artists-agency-caa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAA<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/company\/united-talent-agency-uta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UTA<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency now represents a broad roster of top-tier touring artists that includes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/nas-has-signed-with-wasserman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nas<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/lil-durk-signs-with-wasserman-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lil Durk<\/a>,&nbsp;Jack &amp; Jack,&nbsp;Davido,&nbsp;Zauntee,&nbsp;Maria Beccera,&nbsp;Bambii, and&nbsp;GloRilla, with a strong emphasis on acts that generate substantial live revenue and global festival demand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leveraging deep relationships with festivals, promoters, and brand partners, Wasserman gives its artists meaningful leverage when negotiating touring routes, festival placements, brand deals, and long\u2011term live strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wasserman\u2019s signing of Kodak Black underscores how newer agencies are challenging the traditional Big Three (WME, CAA, UTA) by securing major hip-hop talent. For artists, more agency competition means better leverage in negotiations and potentially more innovative service offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an era where streaming payouts remain controversial, Kodak\u2019s sustained festival presence highlights why touring is the financial backbone for most working artists. His ability to command festival slots speaks to real audience demand, something no algorithm can manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signing with Wasserman suggests Kodak Black and his team are betting on a sustained touring and festival run behind Just Getting Started, not just a short-lived album spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Wasserman\u2019s growing music division disrupt the traditional agency hierarchy, or will the Big Three (WME, CAA, UTA) maintain dominance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As festival lineups become increasingly selective, what does Kodak\u2019s continued booking power tell us about what draws live audiences?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could this signing signal a broader touring push into international markets where Kodak\u2019s streaming numbers are strong but live presence has been limited?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Name:&nbsp;Kodak Black New Company:&nbsp;Wasserman Music Primary Agents: Brent Smith &amp;
