Will Smith Signs With Slang, New Label Helmed by Influence Media’s Rene McLean


\Will Smith is among the artists signed with Slang, a new label launched by music-rights company Influence Media and led by Rene McLean.

The new label’s roster also includes Grammy-winning producers Camper (Jay-Z, Drake, Mary J Blige) and 30 Roc (Roddy Rich, Travis Scott, Lil Yachty), along with singer-rapper Leaf, hip-hop duo the Underachievers, and singer-songwriter Isaia Huron, among others. Backed by BlackRock and Warner Music Group, Influence’s latest fund has secured more than 30 music-rights investments, also including Enrique Iglesias, Blake Shelton, Jessie Reyez, songwriter-producer Julia Michaels, and others. Will Smith, who is said to be at work on a new album, released his first single through the label, the faith-based “You Can Make It” (featuring Fridayy and the Sunday Service Choir) late in June; he also performed the song on the BET Awards with Kirk Franklin and Chandler Moore.
