Damn!

How many times, in how many decades, will we continue to advise upcoming artistes?

Yes, you are hungry for money, fame and success...but when the damn contract eventually falls on your laps, do yourself a favour and *#&%* read it!! Get yourself a lawyer, even if a road side one, to at least give the minimum legal opinion.

Most of the time, the artiste overlooks critical clauses in their contracts until they become big and famous and realise that they have traded off their vital earning sources upfront for a car, a rented apartment, a few designer clothings, some photo shoot, studios sessions, music concerts and a little more!! Even then, all of these has already been charged back to your expected future earnings!!!

When the artiste "blows" as they say in the industry, you realise the constraints your contract places on you. There is the popular case of Motown Records vs The Jackson Five. When Michael Jackson and his brothers eventually left Motown, they lost all their previous recordings, the right to their lyrics and their very name to the label!!

Bottom line: Read the Damn contract!!

lawyer spotted...

this is just why alot of labels are careful sign up all this artist,they never want to fulfill there contratual agreement,
record label are made for business they invest to make money and sometimes lose some too.and this contract is what secure whatever investment they make.

How can u sue him when his contract is already Due...

some one should explain this


modified...
Black man will never read between the lines... and some mofos are busy blaming Runtown for Accepting money and going for shows...

Legally Runtown has no contract with Eric manny records...

in football terms, he is a free Agent..

Runtown is being sued for works he has done whilst still signed to the label. he was recording underground and covertly keeping the materials. Thats dubious minding the fact that this is a repeat situation.

I support the label on this one. they tried for Runtown

the more reason for one to get some higher education and some common sense before entering a contract

Though good, higher education is not necessary.
What you need is simply a lawyer.

Oh

mtcheww

NwaAmaikpe:



Runtown is a backstabber and should be treated as one.
How can he do this to Eric Many who made him who he is?

This is exactly how Wizkid backstabbed BankyW and EME.

We nor come know whether na runtown or Eric many nai do the jazz when dey blow the music. Na who dey do the jazz nai go win the fight for record label issues.

Can't musicians do without record labels?
