In The Return of Brent, David tries to manage which rapper?

The story behind the answer

In The Return of Brent, David tries to manage rapper Dom Johnson. The 2013 Red Nose Day special finds David Brent attempting a new career as a talent manager in the music industry, where he hopes to help Dom secure a major break.

Dom is played by British rapper and actor Ben Bailey Smith, who performs under the name Doc Brown. David's management style is still recognisably David's: he is desperate to appear successful, overconfident about his abilities and more interested in being admired than in understanding the music business.

The short episode revisits David roughly ten years after the original series ended. Unlike the Christmas specials, it does not bring back the wider Wernham Hogg cast; David is the only returning character from The Office. Dom Johnson later appears in the film David Brent: Life on the Road, where he is associated with Brent's band and eventually attracts serious professional interest of his own.
