Mobb Deep’s Label Is Robbing One Of Its Members Of 50% Of His Solo Royalties

A 1995 deal with Universal Music, formerly BMG, has Mobb Deep’s Prodigy filing court papers as he is owed almost $60K in royalties. The “Power Rap” rapper says that the label is snatching 50% of his solo royalties from projects outside of the group.

The ’95 contract signed by both Prodigy and Havoc says that the label would take 50% royalties from any future projects; including albums and singles. However, the label has been taking ends from Peodigy’s solo material. The New York artist has filed a lawsuit asking for his $57,489 in royalties back and lawyer’s fees.

Hmm … anything with the words FUTURE and SIGNATURE in it, stay away from. Back in the day, these labels tried it.

Could this be the reason fans are hearing very little on what’s to come from the duo’s release of a 2016 album? I mean, come on.
