Jarren Benton Announces He’s Leaving Funk Volume.

Talk about bringing in the New Year with a bang, over this past weekend outlandish rapper Hopsin revealed to the world that he would be leaving Funk Volume, a label he helped to create and now Jerron Benton, fellow labelmate decides to follow in his footsteps.

So check it, back in 2009,  Hopsin founded the independent label Funk Volume along with Damien Ritter, the older brother of SwiZz, the label’s first signee — after Hopsin. The two “business partners” have been working for about 6-7 years to build Funk Volume to what it is now, just finishing the The Growing Process tour with Dizzy Wright that went exceptionally well. However, according to a few posts here and there, via Instagram and Facebook, we are quickly alarmed of the beef between the two co-founders. Apparently, Damien has kept it real with Spin, and he’s not here for that, told him he doesn’t work hard enough and doesn’t bring enough money to the table.

Roll up and enjoy!

UPDATE: Looks like Funk Volume is really breaking up now…

Funk volume is officially dead now thanks to the monster Damien Ritter. There is nobody else to blame at all. I have officially separated myself from everything and I am fully independent now. It's very sad but idiots like dame wanna control too Much and now he end up destroying a great fuckin team. Having a crew like FV has been my vision since I was 14 years old and this man just destroyed it. Jarren, Dizzy, Swizzz, Dj Hoppa and I are all still on good terms. They will forever be my brothers and I support them in whatever they do. I will let u guys know the full story soon. You know ama keep it RAW for real. Ain't no holdin back. Im so sorry to all the FV fans. There's a brighter future though. #undercoverprodigy photo by @opticperspective

I'm not sure when everything got so bad on our end but I wanna apologize to the fans… I did everything in my power to keep Fv together but because the foundation is so broken we've decided to go our separate ways, sad to say but It all happen extremely fast. I'm just upset cause I know how much I believed in this legacy, but I can't let this stop me from growing my fan base and having a big year. I can only hope the people that fuck wit Dizzy Wright always remember what I contributed to this label and hold me down for that in the end. So peace and happiness and may that funk volume love never die everything is just not meant to last forever. I'll be on tour wit Logic starting Feb 4th for 2 months so if u catch me at a good time I'll be happy to explain but this is all I got for social media…

I've been having issues with my business partner Damien Ritter. We started this whole FV shit years ago, but this man has all the sudden built up the courage to disrespect me and tell me I don't work hard when I've made him Extremely wealthy over the years from my music. At this point, if he doesn't leave funk volume, then I will. I'm putting it out there publicly so he knows that it's fuck him forever. If ur a real Hopsin fan, I need your support right now and I only hope u continue to strongly support me if/when I leave FV. My heart will always rep FV, but as of right now, it's not home for me as long as Dame is apart of it.
