TVT Records & Slip-N-Slide Battle Over Pitbull Recordings

TVT Records and Slip-N-Slide Records will head to court August 26 over unreleased material by Miami, Florida rapper Pitbull.

According to a report in the Miami Herald, the two labels are battling over the release of Welcome to the 305, an album that contains material Pitbull recorded before signing with TVT.

The Slip-N-Slide recordings were tracked in 2001, before the rapper signed to TVT. Slip-N-Slide claims Pitbull signed over all rights to the recordings when they granted the rapper a release in 2003 to sign with TVT.

TVT President Steven Gottlieb said that Slip-N-Slide was exploiting the investment they had made to make Pitbull a worldwide star.

''TVT has invested substantial time, effort and resources to develop Pérez [Pitbull] as an artist and to develop, market and release the M.I.A.M.I. album on a worldwide basis,'' Gottlieb said in court papers.

Pitbull's debut album M.I.A.M.I. (Money Is A Major Issue) has moved over 500,000 units and according to Slip-N-Slide owner Ted Lucas, Welcome to the 305 has already tallied over 100,000 pre-orders.

Lucas said that Pitbull has given verbal support of the older material, while Gottlieb claimed Pitbull told TVT to block the release.

“We'll fight for this because Pitbull's next real release should be a multi-platinum breakthrough,'' TVT said in a statement
