The label described the exit of a dozen artist months back as a big blow but wished them well in their endeavors. Former Manager DJ H-Mac left the label with a dozen artists – Jorzi, Brawen, DJ Ryhs and producer Mohsin Malik. Kantu, Ruff Kid and BMak also left with the label.

H-Mac opened his label, New Age Entertainment and signed some of these artists amid criticism by a section of XYZ fans who felt that he betrayed his former label.

XYZ is optimistic of carrying on with the glory it is known for and will be announcing new appointments and signings in the coming weeks.
