"We regulate any stealing of his property
And we damn good too
But you can't beat any geek off the street,
Gotta be handy with the steel
If you know what I mean, earn your keep"
Regulators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Mount up!"

I want to hear what Atreus has to say about the matter. where you at? what do you have to say for yourself? I already talked to the dude from foul play. He told me Atreus sent him a rar file of tunes that were signed with contract ready to be put out. which is definitely not true. I still have the unsigned contract. After collecting tunes for the label, he disappeared for a few months(meth binge maybe). I remember hitting up AbZ about it and he said the same shit. Its a shitty situation and there probably isn't anything we can do about it now. The EP has been out for about a month now. The guy from Foul Play is definitely down to pay us. hit him up 850-259-1513.

I would like to first state that you are by far one of the most unprofessional artists I have ever dealt with. You should have le me contact you personally as I requested instead of going on a public forum and airing out something that could have been handled behind closed doors as it should be. The truth or fact of the matter is ATREUS my DS label VP handed me tunes for an album release which contained your two compositions along with the others that were on this release. It was stated to me that all of these specific compositions were contractually agreed upon and that is why they were released. Obviously somewhere in between when you gave him the tunes and they were given to me and they were released there was some type of miscommunication which had nothing to do with myself personally occured which has lead to this situation. Atreus shortly after the release of this album went his own direction with adversion. FYI I have releases on my label with the biggest artists in turntablism/underground hiphop/dnb/dubstep/electro and my reputation as a professional business man speaks for itself not only as a DJ and mc with the global tours I have done but also as a label CEO. You want to hit up Klever, Crayz walz, Sabac, Goretex, Louis Logic, Raiden, Gein, Infiltrata/12th Planet, the list goes on they are going to tell you you're acting like a baby and will tell you bottomline PRO and Foulplay are by far one of the most professional groups and are going to take of you in any case and you should always be professional in dealing with him if you want the same in return. Looking at your distribution NO offense but it looks like you have your product on a couple of Dj based purchase sites? Now if I was an up and coming artist much like yourself I would appreciate the fact that a label just put my tunes up for sale via I.O.D.A. on over 300 online retails stores and its getting promoted on blogs and podcasts globally not to mention the dj support our label has as a collective. You need to get a clue man, here at Foul Play we are playing chess not checkers we aren't on a few fischer price ass sites we have distribution locked on another level as far as digital/hardcopy. Your messages you sent me on myspace were put in context from a 3 year old using profanity and threats. I am a professional business man I run three business and my label is one of them and have never had a problem like this. You will get paid for your tunes and as far as I'm concerned we will no longer be doing business with you. For all of you that have posted believing that FPR steals peoples tunes and sells them you should do some research about our group our releases the artists we work with and make a collective decisive decision on how we deal with our artists and go out of our way to put on new talent and push music for the right reasons. I don't have time for egos I have time for hard working artists that want to progress with their production and music and have the right guy pushing their product to all the right places. I have no further comment on this situation. Any future releases you will see from us which trust me they are massive will not have anything to do with artists who lack communication skills and want to take stabs at people they don't know and don't follow specific protocols in dealing with situations like these. Primadonna whiny producers who act like their shit don't stink WILL not go as far in this business as they could if they had some type of people skills. GET a publicist it will help you a lot in your future endeavours. If anyone wants to contact me they can leave their phone number on my AIM PROLIFICJUNGLIST or email Foulplayrecords@gmail.com. I apologize to all of you had to deal with this situation.

Thank you for your time,

FPR

lol @ this "calling out" business on Dubstepforum is funny.

Not a winner actually.

I didn't even bother to read that cause it's just a huge block of text not separated by anything.

Either way, what part of PAYING YOUR ARTISTS do you not understand?

.spec · Post by **.spec** » Fri Feb 06, 2009 9:53 pm

I wanted to post to say at least there was an explanation for what happened, and it's understandable that wires got crossed, but then I read that whole thing and realized if either of you were trying to be professional you would leave the name calling alone and handle this in private.

And I'm not a producer but if I was, and I just read that, I'd have a weird feeling about the prospects of ever signing to foul play.
