West Coast rapper Iamsu! has come forward to admit he lied about listening to Odd Future singer Frank Ocean‘s upcoming Boys Don’t Cry album.
Iam went to Twitter this week to come clean on his lie.
He initially went to Twitter Monday (July 4) and teased fans about the project’s quality.
A few days ago, Ocean teased fans about his delayed Boys Don’t Cry solo effort with a viral campaign.
Ocean teased the pending release date on his website, BoysDontCry.co, with an image of a library due date card. The first date on the card, marked July 2015, is scratched off, followed by a series of dates, and ending with July 2016. To go along with this card, Ocean also republished a post from last year that suggested Boys Don’t Cry would be out in July 2015. (Rap-Up)
In February, buzz developed about an untitled Ocean song hitting social media.
The wait for Frank Ocean’s long-awaited new album could finally be coming to a close, or everyone is just getting their hopes up again. We can all hope it’s not the latter, as a snippet of what sounds like a new song from Ocean surfaced online last night, though not much is known about the recording. The song was uploaded to a random SoundCloud page and is a recording from what sounds like a studio, which means that the quality isn’t great at all. It appears that the recording may have come from a secret listening session, though it’s unclear where it took place. (Complex)
