After close to 15 years away from the music business, Roc-A-Fella co-founder Kareem "Biggs" Burke is making a comeback with a new company and a new signee.
On Tuesday, Feb. 19, Burke sat down with Billboard to explain how SAINt JHN drove him back into the music business.
"The night [Roc Nation co-founder Tyran Smith], played a preview of SAINt JHN's new album, I drove home listening to Collection One and had an immediate sonic connection to his music," Burke said of the artist who has written for acts like Usher and Dvsn.
This connection led Burke to sign SAINt JHN to his new Circle of Success management company as the venture's first signee. In addition to the Billboard exclusive, Biggs took to Instagram announcing his move, explaining how this is his first time putting his name behind an artist since Kanye West.
