Also serving as the Warriors’ Chief Legal Officer, David Kelly is also a rapper known as Capital D and is one half of the duo All Natural.

“It is an honor to be a part of this new chapter in the Warriors story,” he previously told Deadline. “Audiences demand compelling content that speaks to them on a visceral level. With the launch of Golden State Entertainment, we are excited to create content that celebrates the nuances of our experiences as athletes, artists, and members of diverse communities in ways that not only entertain, but hopefully create opportunities for learning and deep engagement.”

MAYZIN was announced as the first artist signed to the label in April and is set to release his new single “Angels” on Friday (May 13). In addition to music, Golden State Entertainment will also produce documentaries and host culturally relevant events.
