I feel like Top or Punch, whoever is in control of these releases really dropped the ball.
I know every single artist it seems has had issues getting their project out and has at one point complained about being shelved for awhile. Ab, Schoolboy, SZA, Isaiah. The only one they really put effort behind is Kendrick which makes sense as hes the biggest artist in the camp, but Kendrick also has the Aftermath/Interscope machine behind him. Jay Rock has/had Strange Music behind him, one of the most if not the most successful indie labels in hip hop.
Theres always demand for everyone else in the camp. I dont get why they cant try and keep the budget low and let them get a release and continue building their buzz. Letting the sit so long and folks will lose interest.
I also have no idea about running a label or what the whole story is behind these releases, but just an observation.
