You sign a contract, the things you make for said project you signed for are now the property of the label to release as they see fit, as well as the next of kin, since he is dead. So his mother would have agreed to release the music too most likely, but it still is the labels call to use it 

I know my shit ya lil sexy 

Sorry darling, that's not actually at all how it works. When you sign a contract, you often sign a deal for several records often with release dates set before they even exist, if your seen as a potential cash cow; they want to keep milking you. At that point, those records belong to the label. Your work is now their intellectual property.

 

That's why Tha Carter V was such a big deal with its delays - Wayne saying it was gonna be his last album pressured Cash Money/Young Money/Birdman/UMG to continuously delay the record and pressure him into dropping IANAHB2, Free Weezy, those Dedication tapes, S4TW2, T-Wayne, No Ceilings 2, In Tune We Trust...all those miscellaneous collaboration albums, mixtapes, and EPs. Because they bargained to make ends meet with those release dates set by contractual agreement and miscellaneous mostly non-album projects.

I feel as though we're saying the same thing here. Just different ways. We're both smart peeps.
