Chapter 624 The Fourth Chicago Conference

Pablo is in prison, and Lori Jr. still has some distant relatives left in Chicago. In the past few days, many people have gone to Barron's law firm, just thinking about whether they can get some inheritance from the singer's relatives. .

Two days after Hamlin’s speech, Barron came to pick up Song Ya, Al, Tony, Muffler and others and went to Pastor William’s church together. Little Lowry’s relatives and friends and some fans took turns to keep vigil there, “He’s from the Upper West Side He sold the house and other real estate in order to fight the lawsuit. The cash and deposits have been confiscated by law enforcement agencies because of the alleged transfer of funds from the account. When I went to San Diego, all his valuables disappeared. They should be taken by the followers who slipped through the net. gone."

While driving, Barron said, "He's still paying attention when he's having a fling outside, but only when he's sober. It's hard to say when he's drunk or high, so it's not guaranteed. In the past, after he was shot by Puff Daddy, he also thought about this issue and made a will. Since he has almost no other inheritance, the long-term income of singers and lyrics of all his music works is the only valuable thing. According to his Pablo and I are responsible for the management of the will. Pablo can share about 30% and other relatives more than 10%. The remaining 50% depends on whether there is any biological flesh and blood to receive it. If not, After ten years, it will probably be divided according to this ratio.”

"According to his way of spending money, this money will not be of much use at all, but it is a very good windfall income for ordinary people, and it will flow steadily. Every year, we can get several sums from the issuing company and BMI and other institutions. Royalties of varying amounts."

"Tony, silencer, I'm sorry." Barron turned to the two and said, "He left you some precious jewelry and musical instruments that he loved in his will, but unfortunately, none of those things can be found."

"It's okay, just know that he still remembers us."

Tony and Muffler nodded tearfully. In any case, the relationship between Little Lowry and them was once sincere.

"That's just income. Pablo can only wait for the money to be distributed, and he can't interfere with the track management rights." Linda interjected.

"Yes." Barron replied.

Song Ya listened to their chat and settled accounts silently.

Singers and songwriters have little influence on the management rights of the tracks, especially those who are famous like Little Lowry, they can only listen to the conditions negotiated by the production company and the distribution company. Now half of the copyright and track management rights of Lowry's first album belong to EMI, and all the copyright and management rights of the second album and the released and unreleased singles after the second album belong to Atlantic Records, which is still in the record contract, because A+ Records has been purchased from The half of Old Joe's music is exclusive rights, so if you want to make a special commemorative album for Little Lowry, the three need to sit down and talk.

In Little Lowry's first album, there is only a thriving second-hand store, and the overall quality of other songs is far inferior to those in his second album.

After all, Atlantic Records is much stronger than Old Joe's music, but if the commemorative album can't be bypassed by second-hand stores, the three parties can only choose to cooperate, and it should not be difficult to negotiate specific interests.

"APLUS, child, it's been a long time." Pastor William and Aunt Susie were waiting in the church. The security work had been arranged, and a large number of reporters were taking pictures from a distance across the road. Song Ya didn't look at them, with a sad face They walked in with Tony and the others, and little Lowry's coffin was parked in the middle, and some men, women, old and children were sitting in it, most of which should be little Lowry's distant relatives.

While following Tony in line to pay their respects to the remains, Linda's cell phone rang.

"NAS, what?"

Song Ya took this opportunity not to look at little Lowry's face, and went to the corner of the church to answer the phone.

"You're looking for Puff Daddy, he's by my side." NAS said, "Shall I hand him the phone now?"

"Okay." Song Ya agreed.

"YO." Puff Daddy's voice came over.

"Uh, you also know that Little Lowry is dead now, and I don't intend to continue the fight, so I invite you to come to Chicago to attend the meeting here in two days, and everyone shakes hands and makes peace." Song Ya said: "I also Sugnett will be invited. In terms of safety, I will guarantee it with my reputation, and then... I wrote a song for Little Lowry. You can choose a singer under my banner to participate. Male rapper, count as my sincerity ,How about it?"

"I can not……"

Diddy said, "It's not that I don't have the guts to go, I have a case on me and I can't leave New York."

"You can send someone who can represent you." Song Ya said.

"I will think about it."

Puff Daddy thought for a while and responded, then returned the phone to NAS.

Song Ya and NAS explained a few words and went to sit next to Aunt Susie. After a while, Escube also helped to contact Suge Knight, and Song Ya communicated again with words similar to Puff Daddy.

"APLUS, what's left of you Chicagoans killing and killing?" Su Ge Knight, who was much more annoying than Puff Daddy, asked glibly, "I guess you're begging for mercy, or little You killed Lowry?"

"Whatever you think, Suge, Lowry's dead, I'm tired, and I won't do gangsta rap on my next album, just have a meeting and talk face to face."

Song Ya lowered her posture, "Didn't you always want to participate in the Chicago meeting?"

"Or switch to Los Angeles." Su Ge Knight repeated the old saying.

"I don't worry about it now, but Puff Daddy might not be willing to put it in Los Angeles." Song Ya said.

"He'll go too?" asked Sugenet.

"He has a case on his back and can't leave New York. Don't you want to go to New York for a meeting?" Song Ya asked.

"What am I afraid of..."

Su Ge Knight said: "I will go to New York for the 2nd Hip-Hop Music Awards in April, and humiliate that guy in Puff Daddy's territory. You just wait and see."

This guy is really an asshole, Song Ya took a deep breath, "I won't participate in that award this year, and I don't want to get involved in your affairs. If you want to hear it, I can express my respect for you in the media, Su Ge , I really respect you, you can feel it before, right?"

"You help me deal with him." Su Ge Knight whimsical.

"I don't help anyone. Is there not enough blood for no reason? I advise you to be as enlightened as MC Hammer. Anyway, I don't like to use violence to solve problems. I really don't know about Sinaloa, I swear Love and peace, don't we all like to talk about love and peace?" Song Ya said.

"Hey hey, that's fine, I will take someone there."

Su Genet was satisfied, "It's just right, I want to see that lunatic in Sinaloa, where is he buried?"

"Hehe." Song Ya sneered, "Then you have to bring enough people and guns to Chicago."

"Just kidding, our blood gang also respects him, although he gave us a few shuttles." Su Ge Knight rarely said something that a normal person would say before hanging up the phone.

At the end of January, before heading off to Los Angeles for the AMA Awards, Songya finally brokered the biggest Chicago meeting yet.

"Welcome to the brothers of the East and West coasts and South to cold Chicago..."

As always, in the conference room of A+ Records, all kinds of people gathered together, only BABYFACE was absent. He always avoided people like Su Ge Knight, and Escouber did not come, but the reason was that he There are no record release plans.

"Let me introduce you to Sugnight, Dre, and Snoop Dogg in Los Angeles."

"Dion Wilson in Chicago and..."

"Terrence Howard in Philadelphia."

"Miami's yellow dollar and Atlanta's..."

"LL Cool J, NAS, and Biggie from the east coast..."

Considering that the people present were somewhat impulsive, and the big black Biggie who once helped Daddy block the Sinaloa bullet still glared at him, Song Ya didn't specifically talk about the joint announcement of the record, but simply coordinated After a while, there will be a peace declaration to be released to outside reporters.

As one of the conditions, he even handed Sugnett the task of reading the manifesto.

This guy didn't mess around too much, he just deliberately replaced some words in the manuscript, such as replacing African American with NGer. Song Ya and others crowded behind him, with their palms facing inward, solemnly making a horizontal sign of peace. V-gesture until he finished speaking to the flashlights and cameras of the reporters.

There will be a carnival after that, and Song Ya asked the old Mike to deploy 'heavy soldiers' guards inside and out, for fear that something will happen at this juncture.

"Biggie, take a tour of my recording studio."

Song Ya and Snoop Dogg led Biggie, who came for the first time, into the deep sea recording studio, and handed him the score of Dead and Gone, "You and the dog are in charge of the rap part, and I am in charge of the chorus, let's spend some time Record it."

Biggie didn't reach out to take it, and without saying a word, he lifted up his clothes, revealing the gunshot wound shot by Sinaloa on his stomach.

Song Ya rolled her eyes, "Come on, let this pass! This is why I wrote this song Biggie. Dead and Gone!"
