Frank Ocean Outsmarted Def Jam. Here’s How.

Frank Ocean pulled off one of the greatest artistic jailbreaks in modern music—and did it in style.

In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Blake and Scott explore how Ocean dropped the hauntingly beautiful visual album Endless to fulfill his contract with Def Jam… only to self-release Blonde the very next day, fully independent and with total creative control.

Ocean not only beat the system, he reshaped how the system works, cementing his status as one of hip-hop’s modern masters and brilliant escape artists.

Whether you’re a Frank fan or just curious about the most baller bait-and-switch in recent music history, this one’s worth the listen.
