New York, Chicago and Fort Worth, 1961 to 2025. A recording is a physical object before it is anything else, and for most of the twentieth century the company that paid for the tape owned it forever. Shawn Carter incorporated his own label because nobody would sign him. Kanye West photographed his contracts and put them on the internet. Cody Jinks charted a country album from a Texas garage with no company behind him at all. Around them the law moved twice, the money arrived from outside the business, and a word that used to mean a lacquer disc came to mean an asset class. This is an account of a fight over paper that was always, underneath, a fight over who gets to say yes. Covers Shawn Carter, Kanye West, Cody Jinks, Roc-A-Fella Records, Def Jam Recordings, and Late August Records.
