LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – Chart-topping UK rapper Slowthai has signed a global publishing agreement with BMG for all future compositions including his upcoming album.

Slowthai released his sophomore album, Tyron, in 2021, which peaked at No.1 on the UK albums chart. It has sales to date of 47,186 (OCC).
