Melbourne based emerging hip hop act Baro has signed with the New World Artists agency.

The 17-year-old is being touted as part of the 'new breed' of Australian hip hop artists alongside emerging artists like Remi, Citizen Kay, Jackie Onassis and Allday, who he recently supported in Melbourne.

Today theMusic.com.au can confirm that he's struck a deal with New World Artists, who've been revitalising their roster in the past 12 months. He joins the likes of the aforementioned Jackie Onassis and Allday on their books, as well as Illy, Grey Ghost, Grinspoon, In Hearts Wake, Spiderbait and others.

Baro recently released a 13-track mixtape Howgoodisgood, which he's posted on Bandcamp.

He is managed by Jim McKinnon at Teamtrick.
