After “One Wayne G” dropped, his record label teased a physical release of the 199 songs on social media, something fans will be disappointed to discover is not going to happen. That’s enough things to be trapped by,” he said of his spartan lifestyle.īut DeMarco still enjoys a good prank. “I don’t like being beholden to things like that, you know?
