Lil Wayne's record label allegedly stiffed a couple music producers out of their cut of the royalties from some of rap's biggest albums ... this according to two separate lawsuits.

Two different producers -- Andrews "Drew" Correa and Marcos "Infamous" Rodriguez -- filed federal lawsuits this week against Wayne's label, Young Money Entertainment.

In lawsuit #1 ... Correa says he inked a deal with YME in 2008 to produce music for a YME artist. He claims that music ended up on mega albums like "Carter III," "Re-Birth," "I'm Not a Human Being" and "Priceless."

Correa says he was paid some royalties by YME, but the payments stopped coming out of the blue.

In lawsuit #2 ... Rodriguez claims he signed on in 2007 to produce music for YME and claims his compositions were used on the albums “Carter III," "Re-Birth," "We Are Young Money," "Carter IV" and "Priceless."

He claims YME stopped making royalty payments and refuses to cough up any more cash.

Both producers hired Singh, Singh and Trauben to sue the pants off YME for the missing pay days.

We reached out to YME for comment ... but so far, no luck.http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/25/lil-wayne-record-label-ripped-off-music-producers-lawsuits/

"playboi dese porducers dont get the pernt. We not payin these niggas gwap"
 
Cash Money knows that they don't have to pay these dudes... The same thing happens everytime It's one big hustle

1. Cash Money won't pay
2. Producer Sues
3. Cash Money stalls and stalls
4. Producer realizes he's using good money to chase bad money
5. Cash Money stalls some more
6. Producer settles out of court for far less then what he's owed because Cash Money signs him to another deal.
7. Cash Money repeats this process

Why would they ever pay if this has been working for them for YEARS.

Puff would never sign an artist who has been in the business and know their shit...
