Bad Boy‘s French Montana has announced his long-awaited MC4 album will never see the light of day. The New York native decided to scrap the project following multiple setbacks.
In a new interview, Montana explained why he decided to ditch the project as a whole.
“Songs like “I’m Heated” and “Two Times” couldn’t be cleared. By the time I got the mix how I recorded it, it wasn’t the same. I just ain’t have the same feeling for it. Everybody had to replay shit, and do all this extra shit, so I wasn’t in the mood to put it together. All the music going to come out, you know what I’m saying, just packaged differently. Plus, the album got leaked.” (Complex)
Despite the heartbreaking decision, French promised to deliver a new album in the coming months.
“Yeah, I’m like 70 percent done,” Montana said referring to his upcoming untitled solo effort. “[I] just [want to] make sure it don’t get leaked. That’s why I don’t want to announce the name or nothing. I just want to wait until it’s done and just drop it. Make sure it don’t leak, make sure everything is cleared before I announce anything.” (Complex)
A few days ago, reports claimed digital giant iTunes yanked MC4 off its pre-order page.
The case of French Montana’s MC4 continues to grow stranger as the album preorder has suddenly vanished from iTunes. The rapper’s latest project has suffered a number of push backs, with French saying back in August, “Due to some sample clearances that are still being worked out, I have to move the album release date.” (XXL Mag)
In August, mega retailer Target prematurely released French’s new album.
I went to a Target to purchase Tory Lanez‘ new album I Told You and sitting right next to the album was MC4. I went to the self-checkout and had to receive customer assistance. The employee that came to fix the issue knew the album was pushed back and didn’t allow me to purchase it. After the fact, I contacted another Target employee that I know and he revealed that it is possible to purchase the album despite the pushback. It just depends on the employee you are dealing with.
