did she finish it in time to clear for the summer though :what:

you see what happened to joey, he done booked a tour without even clearing an album.... like..... what is he performing out here lol
gotta walk before you run sweety

Punch had to literally snatch CTRL away from her because she's a perfectionist and kept wanting to work on it. Also SZA likes to tell little white lies so ain't no telling if the album is finished, not, just started working on it, who knows??

On one hand SZA is a known perfectionist and liar who is crippled by insecurities, so her holding up the album makes sense. On the other hand, TDE has damn near ruined their entire roster by either allowing them to do nothing but endlessly record music, or not give them release dates. Jay Rock had a commercial breakthrough with his last album and hasn't dropped since then (4 years ago). Q is sidelined after an album most people found disappointing (3 years ago). Ab Soul has been nearly completely silent since his last album (nearly 6 years ago). Sir had a commercial breakthrough including a couple gold plaques and hasn't been heard from since (3 years ago).

This is beyond bad business, it's bordering on malpractice. There is no urgency, no "hustle like you're broke" mentality anymore. Out west, Mozzy has completely lapped most of their artists. Label wise, Dreamville has leaped them. And their new crop of artists are a fukking joke...
