Kontra K, one of Germany’s most successful hip-hop artists, has signed an exclusive worldwide music publishing deal with BMG, adding to his hugely successful recordings deal.

Since signing with BMG for records in 2017, the Berlin-based rapper has scored three consecutive Number One albums in Germany and generated over 742 million streams and played a string of sold out arena shows across the country.

Now as well as having his publishing rights represented by BMG, Kontra K will also launch a new record label with the company called Die letzten Wölfe. The first signing is newcomer rapper Baci whose first single ‘MAMA’ was released on November 22.



Said Maximilian Kolb, Managing Director BMG GSA, “The fact that three years and three Number One albums into our collaboration, we are expanding the deal with Kontra K and launching a new label, shows how complex our relationship is and how well BMG's holistic approach works. We open a whole new chapter."

Said Kontra K, “With Die letzten Wölfe, I want to focus on the development of young talent and with the BMG team on my side, I am confident, that we’ll introduce some great new acts. Baci isn't the classic rap newcomer, with his voice he's going to stir up the urban pop world.”



Kontra K’s cooperation with BMG started in 2017 with the release of Gute Nacht, his sixth studio album, which was followed by Erde und Knochen (2018), and Sie Wollten Wasser Doch Kriegen Benzin (2019) – all three albums entered the Official German Album Charts at Number One.
