Old Slaves: Entertainers Who Signed Bad Record Deals
KRS-One
After the release of BDP’s highly regarded debut album Criminal Minded, KRS-One sued the record company B-Boy records for failing to pay royalties owed for the disc and to get out of the long-term contract he and Boogie Down Productions had signed with them. KRS-One ultimately went on to work successfully with Jive/RCA Records, and B-Boy eventually folded.
