Crawford established an eponymous record label in 2015, through which he signed fellow Midwestern producer Harv.[9]
Publishing disputes
In 2010, Crawford sued Lil Wayne over unpaid royalties stemming from "A Milli"; the lawsuit was settled amicably in 2012.[10][11][12][13]
In 2023, Crawford finally received unpaid royalties from his contributions to Kelis' "Bossy" after 17 years as a result of her finally agreeing to the split-sheet created in 2006.[14] According to Crawford, the singer never signed off on a split sheet for the song, which meant no royalties were paid out to those involved.[15] In an interview with the BagFuel podcast, Crawford explained that Kelis was basically asking everyone who contributed to the song to give portions of their owed percentages to featured rapper Too $hort, as she attempted to add additional percentage points to her own earnings.[16] After years of signing off on various synchronization royalties for commercials and film, Crawford's publishing management advised him to stop, which forced Kelis to sign off as the loss of sync royalties began to affect her earnings.[15]
