Chapter 4: Labor Pains

Another chapter in Syleena Johnsons book has been written. This time, it is more than recording an album. After amicably leaving an eight-year record deal with Jive Records in 2006, Syleena has launched her own label, Aneelys Records (Syleena spelled backwards). This opportunity comes by way of a label deal with Federal/Universal Music Group. Syleena previously worked with countless artists and producers such as R. Kelly, Bob Power, Kay Gee, Busta Rhymes, Cam' Ron, Common, Jermaine Dupri and Twista. Kanye West blessed her with his production on -Bulls-Eye (Suddenly),- from CHAPTER 3: THE FLESH. Syleena proved to be Kanyes saving grace as she provided last minute vocals on the hit,-All Falls Down,- which led to a Grammy nomination for both artists. Artists often fall by the wayside and are rarely heard after leaving a major record label. But, Syleena didn't allow her split with Jive Records to rip out any pages from her next chapter. She simply took matters into her own hands and decided to go the independent route.
