Several magazines are reporting that hundreds of tracks have leaked online, including music from Travis Scott, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Gunna, and more. These songs were allegedly leaked in a Discord "Group-buy" event, where fan donations help achieve the targeted price, which then releases the track publicly.
It's being reported by XXL that the leaked songs will also include stems, which will allow producers and independent artists to use Ye or Gunna's vocals on their own projects. Conversations over possible major artist leaks started to flood Reddit servers before being officially reported by HipHopnMore magazine.

Many appeared to support the Group Buy event, highlighting their intrigue over listening to older versions of finished songs, which will allegedly be included on the server.

While the internet continues to frenzy over the Group Buy alleged artist leaks, we've put together a list of the biggest rappers who've dealt with their music leaking online, as well as the most notable leaks from their discography.
