Producer Linton 'TJ' White has admitted that the royalties from his monster hit rhythm, Unfinished Business is presently tied up in litigation with genius producer Dave Kelly. However, he was tightlipped on key details involving the discussion about how the proceeds from the sale and licencing of the song would be shared.

"Nothing can be discussed at this point, Dave Kelly never claimed that amount that you mentioned, it's still a legal issue," TJ, who is one of the main contenders for this year's Producer of the Year title, told a reporter.

Unfinished Business scored two Billboard hits, Am So Special has been nominated for Song of the Year, the riddim was one of the biggest last year, so I feel great about all that. Me, Lenky and Skatta are the only producers who had two songs on the Billboard, and Skatta did it after Nina Sky jumped on the riddim afterwards.

TJ said that he felt gratified about his decision not to sell the rights of the rhythm to VP Records when they approached him.

"I believed in myself, VP approached me, but I said no, and in the end, it worked out for the best because I am the one at the negotiating table, I am in the loop where everything is concerned."

There are rumours that producer Dave Kelly had claimed as much as 45 per cent of the rights of the rhythm which borrows heavily from Kelly's classic Showtime rhythm which spawned several huge dancehall hits.
