Russ Finds Home at Range
Platinum-selling rapper-songwriter Russ has signed with Range Media Partners, where he’ll be repped by Range Founding Partner Matt Graham and Managing Partner Tyler Henry as well as manager Ben Lichtenstein.
Russ began releasing albums in 2011, but his career took off in 2017, with There’s Really a Wolf (Columbia), which was certified double platinum in 2022. Subsequent albums Zoo and Shake the Snow Globe landed in the Top 5, leading to billions of streams. The artist’s first book, It’s All in Your Head, arrived in 2019 and his second, it was you all along, was a New York Times bestseller. His latest album, W!LD, was released on his own label, DIEMON, last year.
Russ is also an actor; he was recently featured in M. Night Shyamalan’s film TRAP and will star in the forthcoming Don’t Move, directed by Maclain Nelson and written by Nelson, James Murray and Darren Wearmouth.
Rumors that Range challenged Russ to a televised rap battle could not be confirmed at press time.
