“I’m extremely happy,” Kranium said in a statement. “The work will definitely become harder but this deal will not only help me but will also help the entire genre.”

 The entertainer, whose real name is Kemar Donaldson, struck gold with Nobody Has To Know, which peaked at number three on Billboard magazine’s Next Big Sound chart and earned regular rotation on HOT 97FM.

 Kranium was born in Montego Bay, but moved to Florida in  2005 before heading to New York the next year. He opened shows for the likes of I-Octane, Gyptian and Tarrus Riley before landing his big break.
