Record label 10K Projects, riding high on the success of Trippie Redd and other rappers, has promoted Blake Brown-Grakal to general counsel.

The appointment comes on the heels of the seven-year-old company’s striking a joint venture  with Warner Music Group, the third largest record label globally. Under the deal, 10K will operate as a stand-alone, independent label but with the efficiencies that go with Warner’s sales and operating infrastructure.
