CAA claims that Range is just a rival talent agency masquerading as a management company, allowing it to skirt California laws.
The deal marks a major expansion of Range's existing partnership with Universal, which includes a deal with Capitol Music Group and Virgin Music Group on the recorded music side.
The deal represents a substantial minority investment in the company, which operates across multiple verticals and boasts Jack Harlow, Saweetie and more as clients.
The management firm also handles Russell Dickerson, Luke Grimes and Dylan Gossett, among others.
The 2wenty2wenty Music Group founder/CEO brings over 25 clients to Range, including Murda Beatz, Jason "Cheese" Goldberg and Autumn Rowe.
One of the architects of the 2010s U.S. dance music explosion, the former WME agent will represent clients with a focus on long-term career strategy.
