TSM represents Ryan Hemsworth licensing/sync rights for: World
Artist Description: Over the last five years, Ryan Hemsworth has established himself as a versatile figure in music. In the time between Elsewhere and Hemsworth's last solo release, 2014's Alone for the First Time, the 27-year-old artist has kept plenty busy, from putting out the Taking Flight EP along with the second volume in his Ryanpack mixtape series in 2015 to continuing to maintain his Secret Songs label. Hemsworth also hit the road last summer with R&B phenom Tinashe for her Joyride World Tour, and during a week off he took a detour to Atlanta in the interest of scheduling a few recording
The growth is more than evident. Featuring a coterie of guests—from up-and-coming Atlanta artists like YL Stunna and Yakki to rap heavyweights like 21 Savage and Bay Area legend, he's gained a reputation as an adept tastemaker with a golden ear for talent, and an inventive producer capable of switching styles at the drop of a record player needle. Those facets of his E-40— TKTK possesses an impressive level of polish while still retaining the unique melodicism and musicality that Hemsworth's come to be known for. From the blocky percussion and plucked strings of the sunny B La B and Kamo-featuring "Beep Beep," to the gorgeous descending tones running throughout the hard-hitting G Perico collaboration "Don't Fall in Love," Elsewhere is a perfect representation of an artist pushing themselves to new heights while still retaining their core sound.
Above all, Hemsworth wanted to use Elsewhere —which was initially conceived as a mixtape before Last Gang offered to release it as a proper album—as a way to put on some of the brightest new talents in hip-hop, once again embracing his uncanny A&R abilities. One thing's for sure: after Elsewhere hits, plenty of listeners will be more than caught up—further cementing Hemsworth's ability to be constantly ahead of the musical curve, both in choosing the artists he works with and the forward-thinking music he puts to tape along with them.
