Imagine trying to release your album three times and the day before the third release date you get a call from your lawyers! #Copyrightinfringement. The album cannot be released because of one song! One song, "Been About It," ft Lecrae is the hold up!!!
A man of the people, Andy Mineo, took to Atlanta's Beltline with his partner- in-rhyme, Lecrae, to find out what the people had to say about the "banned" video, and the legal concerns around this release. The song and video created to pay tribute to hip-hop's icons had delayed the release of the entire album!
Before we release that video, let us take you through a few emotional moments from Andy! In order to release,
Never Land II, by October 1st, he recorded a new version of "Been About It," and a new video. With the new version and video for the song filmed and recorded, he was given the thumbs up to release! Until then
stream the album here. Visuals to come!
