Kanye West, Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky are just some of the many victims targeted by a new mass leak of unreleased music online.
On Monday (May 27), HipHop-N-More reported that hundreds of songs that have never seen the light of day are now accessible through a “Group Buy,” which means that people across the globe can pitch in money and receive audio files in return.
Among the biggest cyber heists in music history, the hack comprises a number of tracks the Hip Hop community has either been demanding or fantasizing about, such as Ye and Scott’s “Can U Be.” Additionally, it also includes alternate versions of songs from Flacko’s Testing album, over 130 joints by Gunna, as well as a rumored forty-plus collaborations between West and Kendrick Lamar.
What makes this case particularly unique is that a number of cuts have stems, meaning a lot of the audio files come with each individual track that combines to form a song.
While more songs featuring Kanye and K.Dot would most likely be welcomed by the Hip Hop community, the Yeezy boss recently declared that he one-upped the Compton native on their 2016 joint “No More Parties In LA.”
In March, the Chicago native shared a since-deleted note on Instagram and took sole credit for a number of notable accomplishments over the past few years, all of which involved collaborating with other creatives.
“EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED KENDRICK ON NO MORE PARTIES IN LA,” he began. “EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED DRAKE AT THE FREE HOOVER CONCERT/ EVERYONE KNOWS I BROUGHT ADIDAS INTO THIS CULTURE AND, I TOOK THEM OUT/ EVERYONE KNOWS LOTTA DEMNA VIRGIL JERRY KIM ALL WORKED FOR ME.”
He continued: “I MADE YEEZUS DARK FANTASY PABLO/ GRADUATION THRONE 808S/ I MADE RUNAWAY DEVIL IN A NEW DRESS FATHER STRETCH/ I AM THE ONLY PERSON TO COME BACK TO NUMBER ONE AFTER CANCELLATION.
“THERE IS ONLY ONE GOAT/ I STAND BY ME/ MY FRIENDS CALL ME YE :)”
A treasure trove of shit was released.
Rappers cry when their shit gets hacked, but why yall store it online ? Ya ever heard of a hard drive ? Instead of sending a feature on an email, try fed-exing a thumb drive. Fucking morons.
As if the usb couldn’t be stolen right
Who gonna know whats in the box ? Overnight shipping with the highest insurance. I mean if you spend $1000 or more on a beat, whats another $200 ?

Keep all that.
I don’t even want to hear music that was stolen. Give it back man! Fucking ridiculous. Why steal their creative art???
