Frank sparked headlines this week after appearing to put up a livestream broadcast on Apple Music.
In the early hours of Monday morning, Frank added an Apple Music video livestream to his website, getting a ton of people excited that, after all this, the album was finally happening. As it turns out, the “livestream” may not be a livestream at all; it looks to be a looped video of an empty room. (Complex)

A few weeks ago, Frank teased fans about his delayed Boys Don’t Cry solo effort with a viral campaign.
Ocean teased the pending release date on his website, BoysDontCry.co, with an image of a library due date card. The first date on the card, marked July 2015, is scratched off, followed by a series of dates, and ending with July 2016. To go along with this card, Ocean also republished a post from last year that suggested Boys DonÔÇÖt Cry would be out in July 2015. (Rap-Up)
