Cage The Elephant have signed to Big Loud Rock and kicked off the new chapter with 'Beaches In Tennessee' - their first music in two years, produced with sibling duo Justin Raisen and SADPONY. The multi-GRAMMY-winning six-piece, managed by Q Prime, arrive with back-to-back Best Rock Album wins for Tell Me I'm Pretty and Social Cues, thirteen No. 1 Alternative Radio records, and 6B streams.

Management shop Element 1 was busy this week announcing a few major moves including adding The Fray & pop artist Em Beihold to their roster, signing with Ben Berkman, Chris Woltman & Livia Lange. The band’s move arrives off the back of the Colorado rock band's first full album in twelve years, A Light That Waits and their ongoing Summer of Light tour alongside Dashboard Confessional.

Hip-Hop artist Coi Leray has re-joined the WME family for booking following the recent move of agent Michelle Martinez, who previously represented Leray at CAA. Jordan Stone and Caroline Simionescu-Marin make up the rest of her agency team, five months after the rapper signed with major label Epic Records.

GRAMMY-winning producer Dahi has signed to ALTER Music for his debut artist album Black Boy (Alternative), due August 28. The LA-based producer - whose credits span Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and SZA - has assembled a stacked guest list for the 11-track project, featuring Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Vince Staples, and Moses Sumney, among others.

T.I. has struck a wide-ranging deal with Reservoir covering his full publishing catalog - from 2001's I'm Serious through to future works - alongside stakes in his non-Atlantic recordings. The three-time GRAMMY-winning Atlanta rapper brings fourteen million albums sold and a discography built alongside Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Eminem, with his latest album Kill the King already landing in the Top 10 on Billboard's Hip-Hop charts.

NYC-based management company Mutual Friends (Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler) announced Sean Sheahan as their latest staff addition, who brings over artists Ashe, Goth Babe & JW Francis.
