Please only use as record company, © & ℗ citation(s). For label, please use [l123559].. Miami based record company founded, owned & operated by executive-producer, music mogul, entrepreneur & lawyer [a222139]. The company was formed in January 1995, when the then former lawyer; [a222139] of [a93043] and [l6553]; filed for bankruptcy after several artist lawsuits against [a93043] and his subsidiary companies for a variety of copyright regulations and royalty violations. [a222139] was later quoted in a [url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/you-go-joe-6355287]Miami New Times[/url] article; "When you can buy something that's worth $10 to $15 million for about ten cents on the dollar,” he explains, “that's an excellent business opportunity.”" [a222139] bought the rights to The 2 Live Crew's music for about $800,000, plus the outstanding money he claims [a93043] owed him from personal loans. Weinberger then signed the remaining members of The 2 Live Crew to record with him, along with other Luke Records artists such as Poison Clan, H-Town and Bust Down amongst others. Thus was born the company [l471981] and it's label [l123559].
