Cole achieved twelve simultaneous Hot 100 entries in a single week. All 10 songs from 4 Your Eyez Only debuted in the top 40 of the US Billboard Hot 100. The album was supported by two singles: " Deja Vu," and " Neighbors". The album also touches on other topics such as love and fatherhood. The album explores a variety of topics concerning the African American community including mass incarceration, racial discrimination, gang violence and depression. Most of these recordings took place from 2015 to 2016, while the production on the album was primarily handled by Cole himself, alongside several other record producers such as Vinylz, Boi-1da, Cardiak, Ron Gilmore, Frank Dukes, Chargaux and Elite, among others. 4 Your Eyez Only was released exactly two years after Cole's previous studio album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. The album was Cole's first release with Interscope-his previous albums were released by Columbia Records. It was released on December 9, 2016, by Dreamville Records, Roc Nation and Interscope Records. Listen to Tiller’s “Exchange” and Cole’s “Deja Vu” below for comparison purposes.4 Your Eyez Only is the fourth studio album by American rapper J. Each one of those spins comes with money attached and chances are these producers are all having conversations with their managers and lawyers this morning.
It’s not likely this will be the last time we hear of this one, not with Tiller’s “Exchange” performing on radio and his Trapsoul album doing very good numbers. “Point is they think they own all bounces, all sounds and anything they have had influence on. “These are the same niggas that called out when he BODIED ‘Controlla’ and dropped “Luv” cause they ‘invented’ the Caribbean sound lol,” he wrote. Teck proceeded to mock the two producers for acting as if they invented certain sounds. During the course of their tweets, Teck claims Boi-1da and Vinylz of trying to “extort” him for publishing, while Vinylz countered that Teck offered to give them credit, which he took to be another sign that Teck had basically stolen the beat. Where this one ends up is anyone’s guess. but don't steal my shit and put it out before me. I have no problem with producers being inspired and trying to sound like me.
“Maybe can explain why to y’all why ‘Exchange’ and ‘Deja Vu’ sound similar… right ?” Boi-1da posted on Twitter.
So, why would Cole rehash the beat from such a familiar song, one that charted on Billboard’s Top 40? According to Boi-1da and Vinylz, the producers behind “Deja Vu,” the beat for “Exchange” was lifted from them by Foreign Teck of The Mekanics, the production duo credited for working on Tiller’s tune. The dispute began when Twitter users began to question why Cole’s “Deja Vu” appeared to use the same beat as Bryson Tiller’s “Exchange.” The latter song was released as a single in March 2016 after originally appearing on the Kentucky native’s breakout project from 2015, Trapsoul. Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only released on Thursday night and, while most people seemed to enjoy simply listening to the project, one song created a war of words between a trio of producers as they argued over who really created the beat in the first place.
