KEYNOTE: In conversation with Koby “Post” Hagan & Alex Boateng: One built the platform. One rebuilt the label. Both still shape the sound

Culture moves fast. These two have spent the last decade staying ahead of it. Koby “Post” Hagan built GRM Daily from a scrappy YouTube channel into the platform behind Daily Duppy, a launchpad for J Hus, Central Cee and Nines. Alex Boateng spent a decade shaping major label campaigns for Drake, Giggs and Ray BLK before co-founding 0207 Def Jam, home to Stormzy and Potter Payper. Chances are, between them, they’ve already found the next big name. This conversation gets into how they innovate constantly, sustain a relentless pace without losing their edge, and develop the instinct to spot a voice worth backing, well before the market catches up. Whatever you’re building, this is a rare look at what it takes to stay ahead, not just keep up.
