The road to French Montana’s Mac & Cheese 4 has been a bumpy one, to say the least.
Man, it’s amazing what a few sample clearance issuesaverage singles can do to an artist’s album release date.
Originally set for a retail release in August, MC4 was delayed due to sample clearance issues a lack of buzz stemming from the release of not one, not two, but four singles — including “Figure It Out” featuring Nas and Kanye West, “Lockjaw” featuring Kodak Black, “Said N Done” featuring A$AP Rocky, and “No Shopping” with Drake.
Unfortunately, Target didn’t get the memo and ended up selling physical copies (which denounced the “sample clearance” excuse) in a few of their stores. And now, after scrapping the release all together, MC4 is being offered as a free mixtape via DatPiff.
