Balogun spoke with Billboard about the deal saying: "I’m honored to be able to continue that legacy with the launch of Keep Cool. My passion is discovering and working with artists that are slightly left-of-center, and finding meaningful ways to organically build culture around them. Keep Cool will be a safe-haven for artists and creatives who want to do things differently." The same day, they announced the signing of Normani.[4][5][6] In November 2018, they revealed the signings of Lucky Daye and duo VanJess.[7][8] On February 20, 2019, Keep Cool announced a deal with hip hop duo Freddie Gibbs & Madlib for their second album Bandana.[9] In May 2020, Keep Cool announced the signing of UMI to the label.[10] In February 2021, Keep Cool announced the addition of Louisville-singer Marzz to the roster.[11]
