Runtown signed with Eric Many Entertainment in 2014 and dropped his debut project, ‘Ghetto University’, the following year.

However, the partnership turned sour in 2016 when Runtown accused the label of threatening his life after he tried to terminate his contract with them.

The dispute kept on escalating with several accusations being thrown around until court injunctions had to be taken for sanity to be restored.

Though Runtown already set up his own label, Sound God Music Group, in 2018, the legal battle was only concluded in January 2019 when the court ruled in favour of the artist.
