Case report · MNR-66
66 — MNRK Music Group LP
Open case ↗Needs attention
- Confirm the exact-work mapping: the selected Spotify recording is “We Takin’ Over” from the We The Best album, while the stored master registration is for the album-level sound recording WE THE BEST. Its raw record has no track listing.
- Complete the company-name continuity: the Koch certificate changes Koch Entertainment LP to E1 Entertainment U.S. LP; the later certificate changes Entertainment One U.S. LP to MNRK Music Group LP. The active library does not establish the link between the two differently named intermediate entities.
- Review the referenced January 17, 2006 Koch–DJ Khaled Productions agreement and confirm album delivery/coverage. The active library has a 2007 amendment that refers to that agreement but not the underlying agreement or a track schedule.
Rights by work
We Takin’ Over — ISRC USKO10701049; DJ Khaled; album We The Best (2007)
Show chain diagram
- Master: MNRK’s active catalogue asserts recording rights. A 2007 sound-recording registration names Koch Entertainment LP as claimant and employer-for-hire for WE THE BEST.; a related Koch amendment states Koch’s ownership rights in specified album masters for the copyright term. The registration’s album title and the Spotify album metadata are consistent, but the stored registration does not list this individual track, the 2007 amendment calls the relevant project “Second Album” rather than naming it, and the chain from Koch to MNRK has an unresolved intermediate-name link. Exact-track coverage and the full chain therefore need confirmation. - Composition: Not listed for this work in the active rightsholder catalogue; not assessed as a catalogue estate. The two active catalogue Spotify entries for this track share its ISRC, title, artist, album title/date and recording scope; treated here as duplicate listings for one work/version. Both active claims intersect the same catalogue entries.

What supports the chain
The catalogue asserts master/recording scope for one work, represented by two duplicate Spotify entries. The raw registration supports Koch’s employer-for-hire master claim for the We The Best album; the 2007 amendment describes Koch’s album/master ownership terms. The two name-change certificates support Koch-to-E1 and Entertainment One-to-MNRK links, but not the entity identity between their differently named intermediates. The executed MNRK client authorization separately supports Third Chair authority.
