With its announcement comes the reveal that Indonesian rapper Ramengvrl is its first signee and their flagship artist. The rapper recently issued the singles ‘Ain’t No MF’ and ‘I’m Ugly’ via the label.

“Making it in Indonesia with music that defies conservative views is one crazy accomplishment,” Ramengvrl said in a statement.

“Now with Warner Music’s support, I’m ready to make my mark across the rest of Asia, and beyond. I’m so glad that the team at Asiatic Records is fully in line with this vision and my unapologetic f-what you think style.
