R&B Sensation Realest K Signs Publishing Deal With TEN88 

TEN88 announces new publishing deal with rising R&B star Realest K, who has amassed over half a billion streams on Spotify.

Born In Canada, Known Globally

Realest K is from one of R&B's meccas, Toronto, where he began his musical journey. He’s always had a love for music, and this was evident in the way he poured his heart and emotions into every song he released. While his rise initially was slow and steady, everything changed when he released his debut album, “Dreams 2 Reality.” This album changed the course of his career.

It featured the viral hit “WFM,” which went on to become an RIAA-certified Gold record and amassed over a quarter billion streams on Spotify. Other notable songs, such as “Love Me” and “Toxic,” also appeared on the breakout album.

Since releasing the album, he’s gone on to release numerous hit singles and another fan-favorite album.
