Maybach Music Group CEO and Recording Artist, Rick Ross was being sued a several years ago because of his use of the name "Mastermind." A legal battle was initiated in 2015, an unknown rapper carried the name filed in a lawsuit against Ross, Def Jam Records, and Universal Music Group. The allegations included trademark infringement, unjust enrichment, and misappropriation of the name in question.
In 2013, Ross released his sixth studio album and named it "Mastermind." The plaintiff, independent artist Raul Caiz, claimed to have been active under this name for 20 years and had the moniker trademarked. Songs by the independent artist were already in rotation on the radio. He asserted that Ross' use of the name caused confusion in the market, an impediment to his career.  The record debuted at the top spot on Billboard 100. Then a tour of the same name was announced. Ross began calling himself "Mastermind" during interviews, shows, and appearances. Others started using the nickname to refer to Ross from then.
In December 2016, a judge sided with Ross and his affiliates, after which Caiz motioned for an appeal. Last week, a jury overturned the original decision made by the judge and awarded the plaintiff his requested amount of $2 million.

Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you

  "Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you from the first bluesy heartbeat of the intro and doesn’t let go.

The bluesy riffs ring out right away, setting a space where the listener can settle in and brace for a story that feels big, like a page from a graphic novel that’s about to come alive.

Astrology gets a wink and a nod, painting a portrait of a young renegade who’s more superhero than stereotype. It’s a mission—mighty and personal at once—to remind us that youth has a voice, and when it finds its rhythm, it can...
