Krept has signed with YMU Group for management. The deal, led by YMU CEO Mary Bekhait, covers talent management, commercial partnerships, brand strategy, digital, broadcast, live, publishing and intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One half of hip-hop duo Krept & Konan<\/a>, Krept has spent over a decade in music while building a separate business portfolio. He co-founded natural baby skincare brand Nala’s Baby, which has landed on The Sunday Times’ list of the UK’s fastest-growing private companies, and he and Konan also run Saveways, a supermarket aimed at Black, Asian and ethnic communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair recently wrapped six seasons hosting BBC Three’s The Rap Game UK<\/em> alongside DJ Target<\/a>, before the show was cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing extends a busy stretch for YMU, which has been stacking commercially-minded talent under Bekhait’s leadership. The agency landed Vogue Williams<\/a> in April, adding the Irish broadcaster and podcaster across its entertainment and commercial divisions, then followed in July with Emma Hayes<\/a>, the USWNT head coach and broadcaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YMU also runs offices across London, Manchester, Washington DC, New York and Los Angeles, and launched its own talent-focused investment fund earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t a rapper chasing a bigger name attached to his music; Krept’s music career has long been independent. This is a businessman with a skincare brand, a supermarket chain and a TV format behind him, looking for infrastructure to match his commercial ambitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YMU’s pitch here isn’t about touring or record deals; it’s about brand strategy and IP, which tells you where Krept sees his next chapter heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For YMU, it’s another entrepreneur-first signing that fits the pattern set by Hayes and Williams: talent whose value extends well past their original industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this signal more UK hip-hop entrepreneurs moving toward major talent agencies rather than boutique management? Will Krept & Konan’s music and touring representation stay separate from this deal, or could YMU eventually absorb the duo’s wider business?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
