The Fam Sports and Marketing Agency is now adding an entertainment branch to their company. Initially, the agency focused on representing some of the top WNBA players, such as Tiffany Hayes, Chennedy Carter and Courtney Williams of the Atlanta Dream, and Tiffany Mitchell of the Indiana Fever.

Founded by Detroit, MI native and former European basketball pro Marcus Crenshaw, the Fam Sports and Marketing Agency focuses on providing new opportunities and strategic marketing services for each client. As the company diversifies, The Fam Empire Entertainment is officially a new sector of the Fam Sports and Marketing Agency and signed their first artist, Brooklyn, NY native, YS Lost.

Their newest Signee, YS Lost, is a Brooklyn rapper with melodic flows and relatable music. He tells his story of heartbreak and overcoming hard times as a kid growing up in New York. His sound ranges from gritty New York rhyme to pop, and he stands out by not using explicit language in his lyrics.

Upon signing YS Lost, CEO Marcus Crenshaw and Vice President Andre Reed have developed a powerhouse dedicated to providing a family-like atmosphere with their talent. “I plan to keep a personal relationship with all artists and talent.” Says Crenshaw. He wants to ensure each client learns the importance of money management and has intensified knowledge about the music industry for them to thrive. The Fam Empire Entertainment is actively searching for new talent and intends to operate differently from traditional record labels.
