So, the numbers are in and the people of Twitter are having all ball clowning Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave, who sold under 4,500 units of his new album, Major Without A Deal, its first week; majority coming from digital sales. The album went on to sell only 30 physical copies, having features from Cam’ron, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Ty Dolla $ign, and more. Being independent, I’m not sure who’s got it beat, Ave or Lil Kim?
Troy Ave responded to the backlash stating that the official numbers from the Soundscan don’t come out until Monday and he’s made probably about $120,000 in a week.
Major Without A Deal serves as the follow-up to his 2013 LP, New York City: The Album, released via B$B records.
What are your thoughts? Do the numbers really matter?
