The first album bearing the imprint '''NPG Records''', [[The NPG]] | The first album bearing the imprint '''NPG Records''', [[The NPG]]’s [[Album: Gold_Nigga|Gold Nigga]] was released after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] alleged refusal to release that album through [[Paisley Park Records]] (a joint venture between [[Prince]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.]). The record label’s motivation for their decision was that they felt [[Prince]] was releasing too much music to be marketed properly and be absorbed by the public, combined with the decreasing sales of his albums and the lake of success of the [[Paisley Park Records]] artists. [[Prince]] rejected the arguments and blamed it on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.]' lack of promotion and felt that the label wanted to limit his artistic freedom. With other contractual aspects like the ownership of the masters, [[Prince]] then lead to a public dispute with the label. | ||

Freed from contractual obligations to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.], [[Prince]] signed a promotion and distribution deal with the major label [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMI EMI].

During the second part of the nineties, [[Prince]] saw the Internet as a way to release his music and created a website to stream live material and original songs.
