yeah i dunno about this

dave east has no label boss credentials and is still on the rise in the rap game

however

joey has been putting in mad work for years, he always talks about being his own boss and doing his own thing, why sign under another rapper, dave east of all people? joey signed to waka flockas label a few years back and it didn't go well , plus it seems odd to sign again now, west coast dude signing under an east coast dude, again i have to stress, why does dave have a label ? just doesn't seem like the a label head type of guy

could be one of those tax write off things

What do you men with Tax write off? Tax write off is a reduction of an L not a W. Its like saying I stacked mad credit card bills to be able to write off interest rate payments. I still have to pay the interest rate to be able to get to write it off.

What's wrong with a west coast dude signing with an east coast dude?

Nah I meant Mass Appeal is under Sony

Sony is listed as the parent company on wiki.

This is what was written in the press release in 2014:

Sony's RED is Mass Appeal’s distributor, reuniting Nas with the parent company that released "Illmatic" in 1994. RED won the rights to the label in a bidding war with Caroline and the Alternative Distribution Alliance, putting up an advance in the low seven figures for a multi-year agreement.

"Nas is a tremendous artist and one of hip-hop’s all-time greats," said Doug Morris, CEO of Sony Music Entertainment. "We are delighted to welcome him back to the Sony Music family."
