This release has been removed from Monstercat. Reason: due to issues relating to Jakob Leidholm being uncredited.
Famous is a song by Archie, released on January 18, 2013 and was formerly featured on Monstercat 012 - Aftermath. It is Archie's debut Monstercat release.
The "Famous" Controversy[]
Famous was originally a collaboration between Archie and Jakob Liedholm, but Jakob backed out of the project during production. The vocals are a heavily modified version of an acapella track from a sample pack. When the track started to gain popularity, Jakob and management of his demanded their share of the track's revenue and Jakob's name to be added onto it. The dispute resulted in Famous being removed from streaming services and set to private on the Monstercat YouTube channel. It was later deleted from the channel sometime in 2015.
Trivia[]
After the Famous dispute, Archie decided to put the song up as a free download on SoundCloud.
In early 2016, Archie said he was working on a VIP mix, but it was never released.
Typing the URL for MCS098 on the Monstercat website (e.g.: https://www.monstercat.com/release/MCS098) has no song appear on the website, which could possibly mean that "Famous" was meant to be placed on the URL but was deleted by Jakob and his management in a dispute.
This song was replaced by Get Up on the Monstercat 012 - Aftermath compilation.
