AmsUno Re-Signs With Commonwealth

I remember way back in 2001 when I was packing up customer orders in the basement of the old UGHH.com HQ, before people even knew who MF DOOM and Immortal Technique were, and before Atmosphere put up six figure sales totals, one group maintained steady unit movements and consistently needed re-stocking. That group was Clokworx. If you listened to underground hip hop at that time, you owned a Clokworx release. Essentially, since that time Clokworx has more or less fallen off the underground hip hop map. Sure, the members went on to record some ill ass solo joints and they never gave up the love for the genre, but many fans were left wondering just what the f**k happened to the crew? Earlier this year a repackaged, re-release of an original Clokworx album was put out by CommonWealth records and owner Dru Garrity. The re-release was not supported by the original group, but in the world of contracts and fine print the group was powerless to stop the material from dropping and didn’t see a dime from the release. In an effort to inform fans about the boycott, one of the owners of Labeless Illtelligence (the label AmsUno was running with for the last four years), CasUno took to the UGHH.com forums with an open letter to the Commonwealth Records CEO. (to peep the post click here). Now, in a strange drama twist an announcement was made today that the front man of Clokworx, AmsUno has re-signed a deal with Commonwealth Records. AmsUno offered the following comment on the situation, “We chatted and ironed out many wrinkles and made amends. And after careful, delicate consideration, the decision was to finish what we once started years back and reclaim what is rightfully ours... our place in time! F*ck what you heard! Let the critics criticize, and the media puppets pull their strings”.
