Chocolate City and Brymo's Management Team *The Latest*

On the 30th of October 2013, a meeting was
held between Brymo, his Management and
representatives of Chocolate City at the
Chocolate City office.
This was one of many prior attempts at
reaching a mutually acceptable resolution of
the conflict between the Artiste and the
Record Label.
After deliberations at the meeting, certain
terms were agreed between the parties and
Chocolate City promised to capture the terms
in an agreement to be signed by both
parties.
A few days later, Chocolate City sent in a
plan with terms which were not reflective of
the deliberations and agreements at the said
meeting. A similar occurrence had taken
place in June when lawyers representing
Chocolate City promised to hand Brymo a
Statement of Release from the label on the
condition that he would give up his
(#SonOfaKapenta) album to the label.
The artiste had insisted that Chocolate City
has no right to the work as he still possessed
the rights to the work and the lawyers had
failed to provide the release even after
Brymo agreed to give up the said album.
Please note that the artiste's initial decision
to release his work/ earnings was done in
good faith and with a desire to reach an
amicable settlement. It is becoming apparent
that Chocolate City is not acting in the same
spirit of good faith.
The artiste elected to sever relationships with
Chocolate City in May 2013 when Chocolate
City consistently failed to fulfill its obligations
under the contract. And rather than resolve
amicably, the label is devising strategies to
ensure that the Artiste remains unproductive.
Brymo asserts that under the circumstances
of the creation, nature, execution and
implementation of his contract with Chocolate
City, he is well within his rights as an Artiste
and if no amicable resolution is reached, will
be willing to defend same under the
provision of the Law
