Heems Shutters Greedhead Label, Calls Roster "Unappreciative"
Last year, Heems expressed concern that he would have to fold his Greedhead label, which has been in operation since 2008, due to financial concerns. Today, he announced that he would be in fact be shuttering the label due to these same financial concerns, and he took to Twitter to call out his “artists/’friends’” in the process.
As Stereogum reports, the label was initially an outlet for Das Racist material, and after Das Racist broke up in 2012, the label released material from Heems and Kool A.D., Le1f, Mayhem Lauren, Big Baby Gandhi, Lakutis, and others. Today, Heems called out the label’s consistuents (without naming anyone in particular) for their lack of appreciation. Read his comments below, via Twitter.
I’m folding Greedhead as a label because mostly my artists/”friends” used me for their recording budgets and PR and never appreciated shit.

While Greedhead was fun, putting out 20 free records cost me at least 10,000$ and those people and their debt ignore me and resent me now.

So I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. If you want to support the free music I’ve spent money to put out: PayPal: HimaSuri@gmail.com.

Maybe my shit pops off cause I don’t blame others for my shortcomings. I know I’m a piece of shit. I been knowing it.

So long as I make music Greedhead will exist but I’m done shining that light on other people who don’t appreciate it. I want the spotlight.
