Without much warning Lil B delivers his 27-track surprise mixtape, ‘Black Ken’.
According to Lil B the mixtape was released without his approval and DatPiff locked him out of his account, stole his mixtape, and dropped it without his approval.
“WOW SAD DAY YALl DATPIFF STOLE MY MIXTAPE AND THEN LOCKED ME OUT OF MY DATPIFF PROFILE..AND UPLOADED BLACK KEN WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE,” he wrote in a tweet.

Lil B was then singing a different tune a few hours later when he caught wind that the album had reached No. 1 album on iTunes. He then celebrated the wind with a tweet writing, “History! LIL B HAS THE #1 hip hop album on iTunes right now!!!!! Yes that’s the #1 hip hop album in the world! Black Ken! Be apart.”

The one thing was probably a publicity stunt, but it has paid off as Lil B currently has one of the highest-charting albums on the day he also celebrates his 28th birthday.

Thank You Based God.
