between Chocolate City Entertainment and former artiste,
Brymo
Read below.
"On the 30th of October 2013, a meeting was held between
Brymo, his Management and representatives of Chocolate
City at the Chocolate City office.
This was one of many prior attempts at reaching a mutually
acceptable resolution of the conflict between the Artiste and
the Record Label.
After deliberations at the meeting, certain terms were agreed
between the parties and Chocolate City promised to capture
the terms in an agreement to be signed by both parties.
A few days later, Chocolate City sent in a plan with terms
which were not reflective of the deliberations and agreements
at the said meeting. A similar occurrence had taken place in
June when lawyers representing Chocolate City promised to
hand Brymo a Statement of Release from the label on the
condition that he would give up his (#SonOfaKapenta) album
to the label.
The artiste had insisted that Chocolate City has no right to the
work as he still possessed the rights to the work and the
lawyers had failed to provide the release even after Brymo
agreed to give up the said album.
Please note that the artiste's initial decision to release his
work/ earnings was done in good faith and with a desire to
reach an amicable settlement. It is becoming apparent that
Chocolate City is not acting in the same spirit of good faith.
The artiste elected to sever relationships with Chocolate City
in May 2013 when Chocolate City consistently failed to fulfill
its obligations under the contract. And rather than resolve
amicably, the label is devising strategies to ensure that the
Artiste remains unproductive.
Brymo asserts that under the circumstances of the creation,
nature, execution and implementation of his contract with
Chocolate City, he is well within his rights as an Artiste and
if no amicable resolution is reached, will be willing to defend
same under the provision of the Law."
