The management further stated that when and artist signs with a particular label, their expectations as outlined by the contract must be met. However, the statement failed to elaborate in clear terms if or not KMP failed in meeting its end of the bargain.

“Furthermore, if an artist goes under an agreement with a certain record label, it entails that artist is been managed and provided with everything that has been agreed upon signing contracts (if at all there is any). Paperwork is what is needed in order to show seriousness or work Ethics, in the Absence of such protocols, the works towards achieving a certain goal cannot be effective,” the statement read in part.

HD Empire added that lack of seriousness and inconsistency is a major loophole that can ruin the musical career of an artist if a record label slackens on its job of managing an artist.

Thus, the statement added: “Earlier this year HD Empire and Kalandanya music promotion reached an agreement to work hand in hand to take Zambian Music to the next level. Unfortunately, it was an agreement and not signed, rather it was just an orientation towards something big which unfortunately that the deal effective today has come to an end. “Eventually, we are not saying KMP is a bad record label.”
