A United States District Court Magistrate Judge sided with Slip-N-Slide, ruling that the label can release Pitbull’s Welcome to the 305. “I want it to be clear that this is not my second album. These are some old tracks that I recorded soon after I left Luke Records,” Pitbull said in a statement. “El Mariel will be my follow-up album to M.I.A.M.I.”

The two labels squared off in a Miami court, where Slip-N-Slide owner Ted Lucas claimed Pitbull signed over all rights to the recordings when he was granted a release from his contract in 2003 in order to sign with TVT. TVT claimed that Slip-N-Slide was unjustly benefiting from TVT’s involvement with Pitbull, which helped turn the rapper into a major recording star.
