RIN said: “This feels like a great time to sign to Warner Chappell Music. I have a lot of respect for the rappers who are already with the publisher, and I know I’ll be in good company.  I have several projects in the pipeline right now, and I can’t wait to share more music with my fans and perform live again as soon as possible!”

His pioneering music has helped redefine the genre and has given us some of the modern classics of German rap. With his distinctive style, he has all the prerequisites to shape the future of rap in Germany over the long term.”
