Singer Kym Hamilton, formerly known as Gaza Kim, recently announced that she now has full control over her musical publishing rights.

According to a release sent to THE STAR, Kym and her legal team, effective April 15, has full control of her publishing rights.

It was reported previously in THE STAR that the young singer may have parted ways with the Portmore Empire, but she is still locked into Vybz Kartel's record label Adidjaheim Records for another five years.

The release explained that Kym and her legal team provided her former record label with a 60-day cancellation notice in February and has been waiting patiently for it to take effect. Kym also cancelled her management contract with the record label in February and is currently being managed by Sandra Hamilton.

"This is exciting," said Kym. "This will allow me more creative freedom."

Since leaving the record label, Kym has released This Is Love, which was written by Kym and produced by Stone Age Productions. She has also released a collaboration with former Portmore Empire member Ryno Da Stinger called Last Night.

Kym is currently booked for several shows throughout the Caribbean and is putting the final touches to negotiations for her European tour.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the artiste was allegedly assaulted by members of Portmore Empire in the community known as 'Big Yard', off Mannings Hill Road, St Andrew. Shortly after, she ended her affiliation with the Portmore Empire and changed her name.
