He said the decision to upload the albums came after numerous requests from fans for him to do so.
“The entire TS records catalogue is not out on iTunes, only certain songs. But since his (ProKid’s) passing last week, everyone has been asking me to upload his music. I eventually did so on Monday.”
Sbu said any money ProKid would have got from royalties, would go to his family.
“Whatever is due to the artist, goes to the artist and when the artist is no longer alive it goes to the artist’s family. It has been happening for many years.
“We helped Pro reach the superstardom he deserved. I was a fan of his when was still an underground act. As soon as we had a partnership, we helped expose him to a bigger audience and he became huge. I have always tried to do my part. Whoever was with me at the time was making good money and looking after their lives. Whatever happened after we go our separate lives, I unfortunately can’t be held responsible for.”
