Tommy Boy label has uncertain future


Recommended Posts

The future of US hip hop label Tommy Boy Records is in doubt after news broke that the company is to fold into music industry conglomerate Warners.

"It’s all going down the pan," admitted a Tommy Boy spokesperson. "Warners are acquiring us, but we’re waiting for pen to hit paper and until then we’re carrying on as normal."

Tommy Boy recently celebrated their 20th anniversary amid a spate of rumours that head honcho Tom Silverman was looking for a buyer for the company.

The label, which in the past heralded the success of acts like De La Soul, was unable to make an official comment at time of press. However, the spokesperson revealed: "Tom still has the Tommy Boy name, and he still wants to continue with some of the acts."

Masters At Work were one of the acts due to release material on Tommy Boy in the near future. Their ‘Our Time Is Coming’ album – the first MAW production album in a decade – is being rescheduled for release later in the year.
