[News] Nina Sky Asks To Be Released From Label Via Twitter

So 2 singles and a stalemated album release later, the R&B duo Nina Sky is finally letting their fans know what the deal is with them and their label Polo Grounds, the CEO Bryan Leach and their unhappiness with the situation. Rap-Up.com went on to contact the girls whose Twitter account a couple days ago read: “For months we’ve had a complete album, ready for release. Y’all wanna know what’s really goin’ on? Nothing [and] that’s the problem. We released [two] videos and singles without support from our label. All good… Stayed positive. After months of no movement, we asked to be released [and] still nothing. No acknowledgment from the President of our label, Bryan Leach. Bottom line, we want to be released. If you’re really down with our movement, holler [at] Bryan Leach.”

I Love NINA SKY and after their two singles: “Curtain Call” featuring Rick Ross and “On Some Bullsh*t” were released I was sure that the album would be release soon thereafter. I have to agree with the girls on one thing though, Polo grounds dropped the ball when it came to their project and its promotion. check out the rest of the article including how they’ve lost a song conceptualized by them to Bajan pop singer Shontelle.
