When he finessed Def Jam with Endless then put out Blonde independently like 48 hours later lmao

Didn't know that lol. I think he still has music coming though? Maybe just stays independent.

Yeah at the time it was an :ohhh::dwillhuh: type situation for the label.

The people were fed and damn was Def Jam pissed. Has to be one of the nicest "go fukk yourselves" from an artist (black one at that) to these labels.:banderas:

I still haven't listened to this album yet. I'm not sure how he can top Channel Orange :wow:

I'll give it a spin soon though.

I think this guy is blackballed and will probably never put out another album again. After the stunt he pulled it’s over. Pissed off some really powerful people.

Frank has put out tons of music since Blonde. He’s also shopping an album and is rumored to be signing to a major again(probably for distribution purposes)

How can you blackball a indie artist? :mjlol:

He was suppose to headline Coachella in 2020 until covid happened. Then his little brother died tragically in a car crash. That’s why no music has been released.
