    Great summary @vinny ice

    Yh I've been watching the travelling band for years lol. They've had so many sessions at electric lady studios, they was in LA, they were in miami with Scott storch, they were even in Jamaica port antonio together. Also included steve bilodeau tminus guitarist & Daoud who works closely with saba and in general is just a dope producer.
    Seems like they developed quite a strong bond together, they were groomsmen at tminus wedding! Let's hope that brotherhood is imbued in the music.

    Yes! I was looking for that pic to add to the post. That's the crew! It sounds like they had a blast making the album. Everybody seemed like very cool, regular guys. They all took questions and then would take pictures and talk to people after the panels. A lot of people trying to get on, of course, and they all seemed really gracious about that. I dapped up Minus and shared a few words. Good vibes off these people.

    Bro, Vinylz is my f---ing favorite and he did get a shoutout from 1da on an unrelated topic. They are all cool with him. And based on the way Minus was talking, I think they cast a really wide net. There's no way they didn't get a Vinylz pack. Or a Dahi pack. Or whomever. Whether anything came of it is another story. I took the team to almost be like how Dre produces. A Dr. Dre beat is really some combination of DJ Khalil, Mark Batson, Mike Elizondo, Focus.. etc. They are all there together cooking up.

    Luigi Mangione. First person shooter.

    Any rapper make Luigi Mangione reference yet? Cole should be the first

    It wouldn't be the way you want it to be. That s--- is the antithesis of Coles message.

    Wow, Cole’s lines age like fine wine. I don’t recall a reference yet. Maybe an underground rapper did

    I want two albums man! But I gotta say, it just really didn't seem like they were talking about It's A Boy. I'll say too that the hoodie wasn't being sold at the official Dreamville popup. It very well could've been like an official Dreamville booth selling it. Idk. There were definitely third party booths there too.

    Here's a theory. The way DZL was talking about TFO is thematically what you'd imagine IAB to be. Cole as a man, husband, father etc. And a lot of people have thought that TFO is all bars, all the time. What if at some point, IAB merged with or became TFO and the album that was all bars was MDL?

    Maybe It’s A Boy is a song title and first track he’ll drop from TFO…

    These guys are having so much fun. If you peep Minus, DZL, Aziz etc IG feeds. This is all the energy they need to push Cole to let it fly.
