Madlib, producer for tracks by Kanye West, Mos Def and MF Doom, filed a lawsuit Thursday against Eothen “Egon” Alapatt, former manager of Stones Throw Records and founder of reissue label Now-Again.

According to the suit, filed earlier today in the Los Angeles Court, the rapper/producer (real name Otis Lee Jackson Jr.) alleges that Alapatt installed Now-Again as an intermediary entity in existing management deals for Madlib music, licensing and merchandising, and exploited that management structure to bolster revenue for himself and his label. “Not only was EGON not performing these duties, but he was also engaged in rank self-dealing, concealing information from and repeatedly breaching his duties to Madlib, and otherwise engaging in persistent and pervasive mismanagement,” the suit claims.
