Artistes VS Record Labels: Skales, Runtown, Milli

On the latest episode of “Facts Only”, released today June 13, 2016 Osagie Alonge explores these stories. He talks about contracts, and how they should be terminated legally.

 

Runtown, Milli, and Skales have dominated the conversations, with each having their specific demon. For Skales’ it was the resurgence of Baseline as a music label that have been on a hiatus after they fired their managers Howie T and Dipo Abdul. The label has had their up and downs, with Saeon leaving them, Aramide having a foot out the door, and Skales, their golden goose, making money that never gets back to them. The label had poured their investment into the acts, before internal dispute took over. But they have taken the bull by the horns, employing legal terror to bring back their sheep into the fold.

Runtown has had to navigate a maze of contract details, terminations and injunctions. He is currently battling his record label boss, Prince Okwudili Umenyiora, and has been the subject of two court injunctions. One from Nigeria, the other from the USA.

Milli on his part has found his way out of his contract at Chocolate City, but he has shed light on a lot of happenings surrounding his exit from the label. According to him, his position had become unbearable after the label led by M.I Abaga milked his talent for other projects, but failed to release his personal projects.

With all of these happening in the space of one week, the conversations have reflected the events, with many sharing their opinion. There have even been overnight experts, springing up at every turn, and taking sides with the best of their thoughts and spilling these forward to the public.
