DEALS
Hipgnosis has acquired a 50% stake in the publishing catalogue and master recording rights of Rick James. "Rick James was a true innovator", says founder Merck Mercuriadis. "His 'punk funk' philosophy and style paved the way and influenced everyone from Prince to Michael Jackson to Jay Z and the biggest names in hip hop. He’s one of the most sampled and interpolated creators of all time whose works have been turned into huge successes by MC Hammer, Lana Del Ray and Kendrick Lamar just to name a few".
