On June 10, 2012, the Label released its first compilation album, Empire Mates State of Mind.

Skales left due to expiration of his contracts signed and validated by the local entertainment lawyer firm. And Wizkid left the label following the release of his second studio album and expiration of his 5 year contracts, but that doesn’t take away the fact that the Record Label is one of the biggest in the country at the moment.

Mr May D was the only artiste formerly signed to the label, they parted ways due to some irreconcilable difference. And currently, there is no artiste sign to the label.

And not forgeting Olamide’s newly born son, Maximilliano Batifeori Adedeji.
But one thing I discoverd is that the Label is lacking in management and Olamide needs to step up his game in evolving the label into a standardize one.
