The number of push-backs Jigga and Yeezy's collaboration album has experienced are too numerous to count, but rumor has it that a digital version may hit the web on the 4th of July. The Source magazine was the first to hint at this date and sources close to the label are suggesting the early release as well. This comes after the physical release date for the album was pushed back further to January 2012, ten months later than the original release date in March 2011 and a year after the lead single "H.A.M." was released.
The reasoning behind it is to prevent an early leak of the tracks from cutting into sales, a fear that has plagued virtually every artist in the digital age. In particular, Jay's wife Beyonce witnessed her entire album leak nearly a month before the album's release date this past Tuesday, but first week sales seem to not be taking much of a tumble from first-day sales predictions.
Do you think we'll get an Independence Day treat from the two?
