Slave Trade: How Prince Remade the Music Business (2014): Cast

In the mid-1990s, reports surfaced indicating a dispute between Prince and his record company, despite him signing a new, substantial contract just prior. Prince sought control of his master recordings and the freedom to release music on his own terms. This led to a public and contentious disagreement, marked by Prince’s symbolic act of writing "Slave" on his face and criticizing his label. The conflict eventually resolved, granting Prince full control over his music and its distribution, a move that revolutionized music marketing and set a new standard for artists' rights.
