Rookie claims that he was not compensated


Skatta

Joe Bogdanovich

Downsound Records and popular music producer Cordell 'Skatta' Burrell have been ordered to pay close to $15 million in damages for use of the rhythm on Specialist's 2011 song 'Street Hustle', a street anthem that paid tribute to phonecard and banana chips vendors.

The multimillion dollar award was made in a breach of copyright suit filed against them by fellow music producer André 'Rookie' Tyrell, who claims that he was not compensated after "the whole or a substantial part" of his 'Superstar Rhythm' was used on the song, as well as for a major advertising campaign.

Skatta and Downsound Records have been ordered by a High Court judge to pay Tyrell $9.5 million for statutory damages under the Copyright Act; $2.5 million for breach of moral rights and US$15,000 (J$1,785,000)for general or compensatory damages.

The awards for general damages and breach of moral rights will attract interest at 14.99 per cent annually from June 2012, when Tyrell filed his legal motion to October this year when the ruling was made.

Tyrell charged, in court documents, that in 2011, Skatta and Downsound Records created a beat they named the 'Street Hustle' rhythm, which was "a reproduction or adaptation and or derivative work of the whole or a substantial part" of his 'Super Star' rhythm.

"This is not a case of mistake, but of a blatant and unapologetic use of the claimant's (Tyrell) copyrights," Justice Audre Lindo wrote in her ruling handed down last month.

Tyrell asserted that all of this was done without his authorisation and charged that in October 2011, Skatta and his publishing company "falsely lodged and claimed 100 per cent share in the musical composition for the song with the American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers."

Skatta and Downsound did not contest the suit or the assessment of damages even though court documents indicate that they were properly served with papers.

Rhythm owner

The documents also show that in October 2012, the court declared Tyrell owner of the 'Superstar Rhythm' and ordered, among other things, Skatta and Downsound desist from using it.

They were also ordered to "immediately rectify any and all accreditation information, including with collecting societies ... to reflect the claimant (Tyrell) as the writer/composer of his portion of the musical work contained in the said Street Hustle song and 'Street Hustle' rhythm."

But Tyrell said, armed with the court order, he later approached the United Kingdom-based Performing Rights Society for Music to register his interest in the song only to discover that Downsound "apparently registered the infringing song under different names."

As a result, the presiding judge had some very strong words for Skatta and Downsound Records.

"I agree with the submission of counsel (Tyrell's attorney) that the evidence before the court demonstrates that the actions and/or inactions of the defendants have been nothing but contemptuous and/or calculated for

their own selfish gain," Lindo wrote.

"And that they demonstrate a gross disregard and lack of remorse of the infringements they committed."

Dancehall Artiste Toya Die

Although Toya had been suffering from diabetes for some time, her spouse, Josef Bogdanovich, said her death came at a time when they were planning to get married.

In a solemn interview with THE Jamaica Star, the CEO of Downsound Records explained that despite his fiancée's ailment, they were still planning on getting married.

"We have been together for 13 years, from she was 19. We were engaged to get married and we were talking about it a couple weeks ago and that she was going to get well; we had the donors, and then she died," he said.

"We loved each other a lot. We had good times together and we were very close. Toya was exceptional as an artiste and as a fashionista. I miss her a lot. She is the only one I trust in Jamaica. She was a real beauty inside and out. She was great."

However, Toya's life was cut short on May 7 after suffering from diabetes for a few years. She got dialysis treatment at the Diabetic Association of Jamaica in St Andrew and she got additional treatment at the University Hospital of the West Indies. She also received treatment in Los Angeles, Miami and Brooklyn.

But Bogdanovich said he was amazed by the level of positivity Toya displayed throughout her illness.

"It was hard for her because the diabetes took her eyes, her kidney and then it took her heart, and then she died," he said.

"I don't know how she did it to keep positive that she would get well. She was blind for eight months and she still kept the faith and remained positive. I enjoyed her company. She was funny, witty, but above all, very uplifting. She gave freely."

Bogdanovich added that their six-year-old son has been coping well with the situation.

"He is doing exceptionally well. He is a great boy, and he has a lot of traits of his mother," he told THE STAR.

And although Toya was positive, Bogdanovich said dialysis treatment in Jamaica was very difficult.

"I've been to several dialysis centres with Toya and I have seenoften that all the bedsare full. These patients have a community and they come there several days a week every week, if they can afford it, and they develop a bond of hope, pulling for one another, and then asit happens, one dies. Then another one. This diabetes epidemic is trulyfrightening," he said, adding that doctors and nurses are ill-equipped to administer dialysis treatment properly.

Toya's funeral service will be held on May 24 and Her body is expected to be flown to Jamaica from the United States on May 21.

Live MB Music recording artiste, Jay Prince, is busy promoting his latest single, 'Fi Mama', in the streets.

He will be releasing a video, directed by Ramon Lindsay, for the project this week.
"We premiered the song in Kingston at Nipples Tuesday,while a couple of selectors have been playing it in the rural areas. Sala Hype told me he dropped it in St Elizabeth a few days ago, right after a big Octane song, and it wheel up about seven times," Jay Prince said.
The song is distributed by Hapilos 21st Digital Distribution.
The 21-year-old, who once pushed a handcart to support himself in downtown Kingston, first captivated the imagination of the public with Concrete Jungle.

Jay Prince will be releasing Ride Or Die Empress (Shotgun) within the next couple weeks.
"With my new management team, Live MB Music, I am confident that I can carve out a place in the industry this year," he said.

Skatta pleased with Foota hype appearance

Skatta Burrell pleased with selector's appearance on Magnum Kings and Queens

There is still a lot of talk about Saturday night's episode of the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall contest on TVJ, that featured selector Oneil 'Foota Hype' Thomas as a guest judge on the panel.

The airing of that episode of the popular hit talent contest was injected with added intrigue, given the much-publicised feud between judge Cordel 'Skatta' Burrell and 'Foota Hype', sparked by a love triangle involving Downsound recording artiste Ishawna, who is also the mother of Foota Hype's son.

"I'm glad to know I could be a part of one of the most entertaining nights on television. As far as the so called mix-up is concerned, I think it's staler than dry Easter bun.

"I just want to clear the air that I harbour no resentment for Foota Hype, and regardless of what anyone thinks, it's just not in my character to feud with a man over woman issues," Skatta Burrell said in a statement.

At least two contestants took direct potshots at Skatta during the live show with Devin the Dakta deejaying a song saying "Skatta hold knife ah mi throat cause mi a look Ishawna and mi haffi remind him say a Foota wife yuh tek". The audience exploded at this line, and afterwards, Skatta jokingly commented that he was going "home to pray that the public vote yuh (Devin) off the show." The other contestant, Ffrench, also got a big forward when she made reference to the Skatta-Ishawna-Foota Hype love triangle.

After the live show, several memes popped up on social media, one of which showed a forlorn-looking Skatta appearing to throw the 'evil eye' at Foota Hype, while they sat on the couch beside fellow judges Ms Kitty and Professor Nuts. The two exchanged numerous good-natured barbs during the live TV show.

"It's a pity that in the pic being circulated, folks are mistaking my sneaking a look at Ms Kitty's boobs as me giving Foota the evil eye," Skatta said jokingly.

Skatta said he empathised with Foota Hype's pain at having lost the relationship with his babymother.

"Whatever Foota Hype may be saying about me, I understand and hold nothing against him because when you're dealing with heartbreak, you will do and say things to salvage pride and ego.

"Those who know me, know it is impossible for me to put woman on my head 'cause I always got money pan mi brain. I appreciate Miss Kitty, Professor Nuts and rate the fact that Foota Hype came and did his thing, and wi turn the show up for the patrons and those watching. I also ask God to forgive Devin di Dakta for the error he made with my name in the tune he performed," Skatta said. Efforts to obtain a comment from Foota Hype were unsuccessful.

Mark Kenny, the executive producer of the hit reality talent series, Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, said Saturday night's show was one of the best ever.

"In simple terms, it was the best ever production for us, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter went ballistic. We have no actual numbers of how many people tuned in to see the show yet, but social media was off the hook. Devin had over 53,000 links after the show on social media.

"It was a calculated risk and it paid off - the security guard on the stage was there for drama, as opposed to any direct need. Skatta and Foota were great about the whole thing," he said.

Mark Kenny could not confirm rumours that breakout dancehall star Ishawna, whose Restraining Order topped several charts last year, may be a featured artiste on the finale.

"I couldn't comment on that. We have made no decisions about the final yet," he said.
