Philadelphia rapper Eve was away from the hip-hop mainstream for over a decade. She explained in a recent itnerview with The Breakfast Club that her time away was necessary due to management, label and legal problems.

“I been wanting to come back,” Eve revealed. “It’s just the situation hasn’t been right. Meaning, my situation as far as label stuff, management, lawyers. Literally, the whole situation. And now it’s the right situation. I know it’s been a minute, but I miss my music. My music is my first love and I feel like I still got shit to say…I was on Interscope. Been off Interscope. I had to fight for that. Then I went to EMI and that deal was horrible. And then it took a minute to just find a deal where it would be my label, but I’m distributed through Sony Red and I’m the boss.”
