After generating $18 million in album sales for Capitol Records in his first year, rapper Mims was shocked to receive a check for only $30,000. In this eye-opening interview, Mims breaks down the hidden fees, digital distribution loopholes, and shady label accounting that led him to forensically audit his own contract. He opens up about navigating the transition from physical to digital sales, the legal battles that followed, and how artists are often left broke despite their success. This is a cautionary tale for anyone chasing a major label deal — the numbers don’t always add up.
