It sounds like M80 owns the rights to the album.

I hope it comes out unedited I heard it was dark.

It's a trip when things get released after death.

I don't trust posthumous work.

The artist has no final say.

I feel the same about Authors.

If M80 is in control I hope he does everything right.

Seeing these M80 instagram stories is wild.

The family is grieving so is he, but he's trying to handle business. And he has a good track record of releasing albums. I think he's very passionate about the album which is dropping soon in full unedited with more tracks than the e.p and including the e.p so it's an album.

He set a gofund me - all going to the family - they shut it down. He made merch, the family said it's unofficial.

He supposedly owns the master's.

It's chaos, but he said he wants to make certain it's Chino's highest charting album.

Then on Chino's side I don't know who's running it and if they themselves can even release it business wise.

Then it seems like he's giving all the profits to the fam and handing back the master to the fam.

But it also seems like he may take a cut for the money he invested in the album.

On another note, he's suing Fat Beats for supposedly not paying a cent to Cappadonna for his last album and they want 100 gees.

To sue fatbeats is wild. I never heard of them shafting ppl.

I don't know what or who to believe. If M80's conscience is in the right place cool.

But at the same token this is so close to Chino's death.

It does come off as starting drama during a mourning process.

But also - what if the album gets released edited? Or different beats to what Chino rhymed over?

I'd like to hear this album as Chino only created it.

See the posts. I'm just hoping for a win/win for all involved.
