November 17th 2023, sees the first ever retail release of the infamous April 2013 leak of uninished Jai Paul demos that took the world by storm, titled Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones). Coined one of the best albums of the 2010s (Pitchfork), Bait Ones boasts an impressive tracklist with songs that have been sampled by some of today’s big- gest artists such as Beyoncé and Drake.

After years operating in near-anonymity, Jai Paul made his live debut at Coachella earlier this year, after which he has played a handful of sold out headline concerts. This retail release follows a limited run of 3000 LPs sold worldwide via Jai’s webstore to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the leak, all of which sold out immediately.

“One of the century’s most enigmatic pop stars” – Pitchfork

“Paul’s idiosyncratic, tunnelling instincts conjured J Dilla, Daft Punk, D’Angelo, Prince; he was in the source code.” – The New Yorker

“If BTSTU announced Paul as a producer to watch, Jasmine confirmed he was a once-in-a-generation talent – an overused phrase, to be sure, but an accurate one given how genuinely groundbreaking both singles are.” – The Guardian
