New York based independent record label TVT Records filed for Chapter 11 aka bankruptcy yesterday (February 18th). The label, home to artists such as Teedra Moses, Lil’ Jon & The Eastside Boyz, Pitbull and Ying Yang Twins, have terminated the majority of their employees. It’s unknown, at writing, whether the label’s release schedule for this year will be affected. {Read more here}I’m guessing this sheds some light on the slow-go of R&B songstress Teedra Moses’ serially delayed album ‘The Young Lioness’. If there is any justice, Teedra will get snapped up by another label – independent or a major – she’s too talented to go unheard. ‘Complex Simplicity’ still rates as one my all-time favourite R&B albums.
Your thoughts?
That sucks. That means that Teedra Moses, Keke Wyatt, Jacki-O, and Lil’ Jon’s albums probably won’t be dropping this year. Hopefully some other label signs them.
THE QUESTION IS WILL THE EMPRESS PRIDE COLLECTION FROM TEEDRA MOSES EMBRACE THE NOW LOST RECORDINGS ON THE YOUNG LIONESS SOPHOMORE ALBUM? I SEEM TO RECALL SEEING THE YOUNG LIONESS PROPOSED ALBUM ARTWORK SOME YEARS AGO AND AS I RECALL IT FEATURED TWO PALM TREES ON THE FRONT COVER. AND WILL THE NEW COLLECTION SAVE AND EMBRACE ALL OF THE MIXTAPES TEEDRS MOSES HAD RELEASED? COURTESY.THOMAS HARTLEY/ THOMAS HARTLEY/ (AND HMV/UK HAVE NO IDEA WHO TEEDRA MOSES IS!!
