Dbanj has opened up on the state of artistes he signed to his DB records.He also revealed record labels died after Mohits..Speaking to journalists during MTVBase media hangout, when asked if he dropped Tonto Dikeh from his label,he said

Going back to your question, I had a meeting with my team last year and I told all of them from my producer to singers that they must really work hard in 2016. I lead by example.
I am not using inside resources; I now work with anybody from anywhere. For instance, I never met the producer of ‘Emergency’ before he did the song. A Nigerian that I had never met before also produced the next song I plan to drop soon. I featured a South African on it. I want everyone on the label to follow that direction because I have made up my mind that we cannot continue to do the same thing and expect results.
