More than a dozen artists are suing the pioneering Chicago house label Trax Records, the estate of co-founder Larry Sherman, and current owner Screamin’ Rachael Cain among others, Rolling Stone reports.
The plaintiffs, among them Vince Lawrence, who was instrumental to the label’s early days, and musicians Marshall Jefferson, Adonis and Maurice Joshua – allege that the label owes them unpaid royalties and in some cases that the label never paid them anything at all, according to a copy of the lawsuit seen by the Guardian.
