Erica Campbell's label sues distributor SRG over I Love You royalties
My Block Inc., the independent label founded by producer Warryn Campbell, has sued its former distributor SRG/ILS Group for breach of contract over royalties for Erica Campbell's 2023 gospel album I Love You.
The filing was made on Thursday, 17 September 2026, and was first obtained and reported by Billboard. My Block is seeking more than $1 million in damages. It alleges SRG never supplied a single royalty statement for the records it handled.
Under a distribution deal, a distributor delivers music to streaming services and retailers, collects the income and then reports back to the label. Royalty statements are those regular accounts. They show what was earned and what is owed. My Block says it received none.
The deal ran from 2021 to 2024, according to the filing. It covered three albums: Campbell's I Love You, Lena Byrd Miles' 2022 album Brand New and The Walls Group's 2023 album Four Walls. The lawsuit states the three records drew more than 113 million streams between 2022 and 2024 and generated more than $1 million in sales.
I Love You is the centre of the claim. Its single "Feel Alright (Blessed)" reached No. 1 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart, the weekly ranking of the most-played songs on gospel radio in the United States. Erica Campbell and Warryn Campbell, who is her husband as well as the label founder, later received Grammy nominations for the album tracks "Feel Alright" and "Positive".
SRG operates as a digital distributor in partnership with Virgin Music, the independent distribution arm of Universal Music Group. In a statement to Billboard, SRG said it had made repeated efforts to engage with My Block on the transition of masters, accounting and payments since the deal ended. Masters are the source recordings that decide how music can be used and reissued.
A breach-of-contract claim asks a court to decide whether a written agreement was broken and what compensation, if any, is due. The filing contains allegations. No court has ruled on the claims.
The case follows a separate action against the same distributor. Singer Kenny Lattimore sued SRG in February, alleging he received only a single $4,400 cheque for his 2021 album Here to Stay and was owed more than $100,000. That album included "Take a Dose", a No. 1 on Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay chart. SRG has denied Lattimore's allegations and is contesting that claim, with evidence discovery still under way.
