It seems to be the result of a kind of “group buying,” with fans from around the world chipping in to put leaks online, with unreleased hits flying left, right, and centre. Nearly eight years after a fan group-buying campaign to buy a leaked version of Kanye x Travis’ song “Can U Be” failed, the song has finally been released in an unconventional way. The leak also includes songs and versions from A$AP Rocky’s album Testing, as well as more than 130 songs from Gunna 2016.

While a good portion of these songs have never been heard before, the folders also appear to contain different versions of previously released songs. What’s even more exciting is that some of these songs also come with stems, making the possibility of the producers flipping them around the world high. While this approach is questionable in terms of ethical music consumption, it’s interesting to note that some fans even donated over $5,000 individually to fuel the leak!
