It’s always sad when an artist lifts part of someone else’s track without acknowledging them, but when an “artist” steals all of his music (ALL OF IT) wholesale from other artists, gets signed with it to a label, and then tours on it, it’s downright disgusting. How utter asshole Laromlab managed to get away with passing off the great tracks of YM Rockerz for so long is appalling.
His former label, Mushpot Records, has pulled “his” record from sales and he’s been outed by CMJ, but it comes as quite a shock that I haven’t seen any information about this on too many other blogs, especially one of our favorites, Missingtoof, who posted some of his ripped off tracks just a few months ago and are normally so on top of stuff.
Laromlab has issued a deluded apology claiming that it takes guts to own up to doing something wrong, but the guy didn’t own up to anything. He was caught red handed and then lied again to a collaborator, claiming that the one track he used with Kentucky Prophet was actually his when it wasn’t.
Mushpot records has posted a list of the artists who ACTUALLY made the music. Might I recommend a little Crazy Q to start your weekend off right?
Thess sort of acts must be repudiated, I certainly cannot believe how long it took for this shit to hit the fan, specially after he posted that video on YouTube where he “shows” how to make “chiptunes”.
Here’s looking forward to Mushpot releasing more chipmusic oriented stuff to compensate for this loss.
well done Resonator. This info needs to get out beyond the level of notoriety that this little creep himself managed.
Whaha, akira go look the other youtube video of him which is the best comedy I ever saw. Laromlab at some radiostation, what a liar. A must watch, just keep spreading these kind of links to fellow sceners.
Glad to see this news spreading around, i’m a little late to all this news. but hope to get the facts out there all the same.
