Something must be awfully stink at VP records for so many artiste to be bailing out of their deals,,, it was just recently Wayne Wonder revealed that he had a long battle with VP to break from them. There was the case with Mavado.. he exited from the VP deal when he only did two albums out of his three album deal. Recently we heard of Mr. Lexx splitting ways with Vp indicating now he can now give his fans the music he wants...
Tanya Stephens also has issues her "infallible" album was a free release excluding vp's input..according to reports "Tanya believes that when she grants album distribution permission to VP Records, she is technically giving it away for free, so why not just give it directly to her fans."
Late last year VP made some rule changes..
According to a letter released from the companys director of business affairs Alexander Threadgold, anyone who desire to exploit master recordings embodying the performances of VP records artists must request and explicitly obtain from VP a waiver of exclusivity which VP may elect to grant or not grant in its sole discretion.
Some of the artiste listed by VP Records include Beres Hammond, Assassin, Bounty Killa, Busy Signal, Capleton, Elephant Man, Gyptain, I-Wayne, Luciano, Sean Paul, Queen Ifrika and a host of others."
So ..what the hell is wrong with VP... cant we all just get along.. give every body their fair share and work hard to promote good music ... to **** man
