my most fucked up label was Bayside....i took them my album to check out and I signed a deal.....I sold 14,656 according to soundscan, but then i only got a check for like $126.00....then aothe for like $45.00.....I tried callin like 22 times, but no one ever called me back....then i get an email on my palm pilot that says i've been paid in full and to stop calling....b12 toldme if I ever call again the Oakdale Mob would kill me and dump my body in the back of Palou by them apartments..and they wold never dientify me


then i signed wit Dog Day.....i sold 11,000 with them....they sent me a letter that says i owe them $3,400 and I was being taken to collections..i go to court on dec 2nd

then i signed wit Above the Rest.....they stole all my beats and jacked me for my equipment..beat me up and stole my last 1,200 copies of my album. The i signed wit Ghettoline....but I got tired of gettin shot at and drivin fools to do drivebys.....so I signed wit Tact out Music....but im tryin to get off cause j Locc be smokin up all my weed and never fadin and bogartin when he hit it.....So Im thinkin of signing wit Hammers new label

I think you should sign with Death Row or Ruthless Records, I am sure you would have a much more fun time dealing with them bout gettin all your money lol!

Seriously though, you could just start your own label like everyone else though. You clearly have the shit to back up your unit sales, you might as well get all your check for your work with ya label.

I am sorry to hear that partna, but there are some people that ended up in worse situations! And I am sure there is always a way to get at least 50% of what you put into it!
