dropping an album with Sony Red (distribution not a label) would be good though. i know some nikka i know got a 85-15 % split deal from them, he said they deals are either 80-20 or 85-15. that shyt seems good though forreal, and plus Sony Red sends shyt to mad stores that are in-store retail, online and sometimes mom & pop stores. that's the same as Ingrooves (Tech N9ne's distribution) artists get 85 % i heard
Troy Ave works with Empire Distribution, i don't know much about them but i feel like they send shyt online but never to in-store retail like target or best buy. mad people are with Empire like Sage The Gemini, Cam'ron, Trae Tha Truth, 9th wonder, Mally Mall. they probably get the same percentage that is given at other distribution companies.
Joey said he has an 85-15. Troy said either 85-15 to 90-10 because Empire pays a percentage to his lawyer.
Troy is wasting his opportunity with the extra shyt. He's burned bridges all over. ASAP, Beast Coast, TDE, Royce, Manolo Rose, Chance, etc. If you're indie you need to be out there networking and building relationships.
