The album's success led to a contract with Uni Records and MCA Records, where they released their second album, "Follow the Leader" (1988). Eric B. and Rakim are credited as officially producing "Paid in Full". Although Marley Marl claimed to have produced two tracks ("My Melody" and "Eric B. Is President"), Eric B. has argued that Marley Marl was only an engineer. In 2003, Eric B. alleged the duo had not been fully paid for their work, and filed a lawsuit against the Island Def Jam Music Group, Lyor Cohen, and Russell Simmons.
