Aug 4, 2016 Great piece, there's a cool correlation to the way you wrote this to how Channel Orange plays out or at least that's what it reminded me of.
Aug 5, 2016 Nope. But big publications, especially ones that don't do much music coverage like this one, aren't sitting with bated breath, waiting to pull the trigger as soon as something drops. When this pub reached out to me, I figured they had communicated with Def Jam. Regardless, I'm willing to bet last-minute tweaks are being made to the packaging/the literary thing he's doing. NYT wouldn't report without label confirmation.
