look i know frank is going thought alot and i would never with this on him i just wanna know has franks s*** ever leaked

• Small snippet of Futura Free, the only leak from either Blonde or Endless

• Someone recorded music off of Endless from an alleged “listening party” not really a leak by usual standards but it got out nonetheless

• There were a couple of tracks MM had but they were before Blonde

That’s what I can recall. If you’re wondering if there’s a chance new music can leak, then absolutely not. He keeps his hard drive to himself, his engineers don’t even have access to it. Probably some of the most lockdown content in the industry.

Someone walked by the warehouse Endless was being filmed at & recognized new Frank was being played loudly in the warehouse. They proceeded to record a few seconds of it & posted it online.

We all thought it was a listening party for new Frank

We wouldn’t hear it for another 7 months

didn't ever hear the Futura Free leak dam i wanna find that!! but yes someone was next to the warehouse when they were filming Endless and described it as a listening party. MM had several tracks that were pre-blonde for sale after blonde came out + the nights demo leaked through another song selling group. Other than those and the demo off that N.E.R.D. album, nothing frank leaks lol

the OG version of Dont Do It by NERD with Frank vocals

the OG version of Nights which was 6 minutes without the second half

i heard there were like 5 different versions of Provider that leaked.

they didnt leak, he played them during the blonded radio premiere

oh nice. were they good or nah?

It was the "Tyler slept on my sofa" line and "Jay hit me on the email" verse

They had an intro and some minor differences, some pitch shifting amongst other very minor changes

Half of U-N-I-T-Y and CDG leaked in February 2016.

wasn't Thinkin About You OG a leaked reference track for someone else? I'm pretty sure...

and then it was so popular that he decided to just keep it and put on CO?

GOD will not let that happen to FO

There was a snippet of Kendrick rapping for a Nights reference track that surfaced for a private buy a couple of months ago.
He doesn't get leaks very often cause he uses SSDs I think.

"Are you still distrustful of storing any creative work online?

I’m working with a string arranger right now in Rio, and every time we go back and forth, because I don’t put things on the Internet, I have to send a drive with someone to Rio, or I have to go myself."

If you remember the whole 2017 tumblr hack fiasco, Spaceman (feat SZA and Andre 3k) was set to leak but I think Frank’s team bought it back from the leakers

Song never been mentioned since then

Would y’all consider lonny breaux a leak considering someone put it out without his consent?

Yes

It was for Bridget Kelly but it didn’t leak, he posted it on his Tumblr and she eventually released her version just not on her album as initially intended

Yes

That’s actually crazy, lol. You have to commend the man’s dedication to his craft.

It’s mind boggling to me this man would rather fly to Brazil than put a file up on the internet

Tbh travel would be fun, maybe that’s just me thinking that cos Rona has us captive...

That entire Tumblr hack was cap

wdym by cap?

Like the leakers weren't planning on selling the track?

I thnk the song would've leaked eventually if someone from frank's team handnt stepped in and bought the song back
