Gospel label sues over royalties

My Block Inc., founded by producer Warryn Campbell, is suing distributor SRG/ILS Group for never providing a single royalty statement on Erica Campbell's 2023 gospel album I Love You.

Album was a commercial success

The album sent the single Feel Alright (Blessed) to number one on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart and earned Grammy nominations for Erica and Warryn Campbell.

Three albums, 113 million streams

SRG distributed three My Block albums from 2022 to 2024 that generated over 113 million streams and more than $1 million in sales, yet provided no royalty statements.

“Block's album releases Brand New, Four Walls and I Love You sold over 113 million streams between 2022-2024 and generated over $1 million sales.”

Part of a larger pattern

This lawsuit follows a similar case filed in February by R&B singer Kenny Lattimore, who alleged SRG sent him only $4,400 despite his album generating over $100,000 in royalties.

SRG denies wrongdoing

The distributor says it made repeated efforts to engage with My Block about transitioning masters and payments, and maintains comprehensive records supporting its position.

“We have maintained a comprehensive record of those communications and are confident that the facts and documentation will provide important context to the allegations now being made.”

My Block seeks $1 million damages

The label is suing for breach of contract and demanding more than $1 million in financial damages from SRG for the unpaid royalties.
