The highly-anticipated Madlib and Mac Miller joint album could not see a launch in spite of everything.
A countersuit filed by the producer’s former supervisor, Eothen “Egon” Alapatt, claims that he produced the joint album for Madicine Present — the file label established by Alapatt and Madlib. Nevertheless, Madlib supposedly “unlawfully absconded with Madicine Present’s property to wit” and established a “new” firm. The “new” Madlib Invazion label “promised” to launch the joint album and Montana with Freddie Gibbs and his ESGN firm. Each data are “obligated to ship” to Sony Music.
Alapatt additional alleges that Madlib is “refusing to cooperate” to drop data, and had been releasing initiatives produced by Alapatt for Madicine Present. He additionally claims that Madlib launched one in all Miller’s Madicine Present masters for Talib Kweli‘s Liberation 2, in addition to launched one of many Liberation 2 masters produced by Alapatt for the Black Star album No Worry of Time.
In November 2024, Madlib sued Alapatt for mismanagement of his file retailer and their three way partnership. He accused the exec of participating in “rank self-dealing, concealing data from and repeatedly breaching his duties to Madlib,” in addition to “persistent and pervasive mismanagement” and “abuse of his position” inside the two entities and the producer’s “skilled and enterprise affairs.”
