Apparently this is true. I hope for TQ he realizes on time Shortyo (AEG is his company) is a fraud.

i dont know, but that sounds whack to me. He signs to a whack "artist" and apparently to a whack a$s company as well. Not a good move... Hope he thought about it.

Please dont speak on the label if you have no idea about them. Affiliated Ent Group is a MAJOR independent Label with distribution through E1 Entertainment which is formerly Koch Entertainment. and E1 is the biggest independent distributor in the music game. So signing with Affiliated is a good situation for TQ as it will allow him to release his new album on a major level in the US and Canada. Affiliated is not an "artist" label. It is ran by a corporation of 3 partners who fund the label and make every decision. It is the home of Omillio Sparks, TOne Trump, IBU, and now TQ. Affiliated is in negotiations with 3 MAJOR artists to bring them to affiliated as well.
So please before you try to bring someone down make sure you have all your info correct. as for the TQ project so far what we have heard its amazing and we are thrilled be bring TQ to our family. If your his fans you will support his music now matter whos putting it out, just be glad someone has faith that TQ will sell records if promoted and distributed right

This press release says it's a 'top label', but at the same time it's a very small and unknown and the signed artists are unknown. On top of that it's Shortyo's label, a man who has the word 'fraud' written all over him. He's a fraud that doesn't pay up. Shortyo's album dropped on AEG/E1, but he's nowhere to be found on E1's website. TQ's "Call Me" hook was featured on that same album, but he's uncredited. I hope that TQ's not talking about AEG on his Twitter and that I can close this thread. |

1st and foremost TQ not only will be treated fairly as an artist on the label he will be treated like family. You mention the label is filled with unknowns? Omillio Sparks was signed to the BIGGEST Record label before AEG (Rocafella) he is credited for writing and performing on some of the biggest records rocafella records and jayz has. Yes IBU and Tone Trump arnt big named artists but neither was Lil Wayne when cash money found him, or snoop when he signed to deathrow. Yes we have some new guys in the business over here but trust me in the next few months your going to hear about some major players coming to affiliated entertainment and thats going to broaden the label bigger and better then it has ever been. The label has stood on its own for the past 5 years. its only right TQ join a label thats on the verge of being that next rocafella, deathrow, badboy. As for not being on E1s website, you must not be looking hard enough. If you go to www.kochdistribution.com/ you can click on labels and see Affiliated Entertainment as a distributed label. Also if you support TQ it would only make sense to also support the label hes signed to right now. If we bump heads it makes tq look unprofessional by having people like you on his team. I advise you to get on board and make tqs release as fruitful as possible or Im going to address this with him. |

If we support TQ ??
Because of "this" we want the best thing for him !
In my opinion it's not a good thing , like an artist that got 3-4 albums to go to a new label, cuz u learn on his back what to do or not...
Treat him like family... well HELL yeah , cuz he will bring u money... so u gotta treat someone who bring profit well, right ?!
But that's only my opinion... or not hehehehe

The only thing that makes TQ look "unprofessional" are not we (the guys who support him), its the label whos got nothin better to do than write so much in a board that is for his fans. You aint got no work to do, or how come you got so much time to reply to every single post??? And the thing that is pissing me off is, that you are threatening us by saying "STOP IT, OR I WILL DISCUSS THIS WITH TQ". Thats not professional man.
I support TQ but i dont support the manner you got threathening us guys.
