So RiFF RaFF just joined a management roster with Kygo and Thomas Jack. At first glance, that's a combination that shouldn't make sense. The new trio's manager and co-owner of Golden Hare Group, Myles Shear, assures us that like sea salt on chocolate (or Pop Rocks and Coke), the combination just works. RiFF RaFF, who has been without a manger for several months, hit it off with Shear and co recently at Mad Decent Boat Party. Love must have been in the air, because it wasn't long before RiFF RaFF made his mind up about getting more in tune with the dance world. In words with Billboard, RiFF RaFF explains further his desire to be the "EDM Justin Bieber":"I never claimed to be a gangster rapper or a hip-hop artist. I think that's where people get confused and question my style, which they have never seen. The reality is that I'm the first and only EDM rapper to ever exist. I'm not a cross over artist, I wasn't a pop artist at first or in a gang, and I was never in a group, I'm the first and only EDM rapper of all time. I wear neon swim trunks and muscle shirts and have neon magenta colored hair, and have over 1.3 million dollars in real diamonds and I stay away from the haters. How could anyone confuse me for a hip-hop artist?"Will RiFF RaFF be rapping on any upcoming tropical house tracks? Will Thomas Jack start dating Selena Gomez? Will Kygo ditch the melodies to become an Instagram sensation too? Will the four of them go coning? Only time will tell.Ziad Ramley is on Twitter: @ZiadRamley
