(AllHipHop News) Longtime production partners Boi-1da and Vinylz once again teamed up for “Deja Vu” off J. Cole’s new album 4 Your Eyez Only.
The track for “Deja Vu” resembles Bryson Tiller’s “Exchange.”
1da and Vinylz took issue with Foreign Teck of The Mekanics for creating a beat they claim was originally their work.
“Maybe [Foreign Teck] can explain why to y’all why [Bryson Tiller’s] ‘Exchange’ and ‘Deja Vu’ sound similar… right [Vinylz]?” Boi-1da posted on Twitter.
Teck responded with, “damn [Boi-1da] wake up everyday tryna come for me lmao i’m honored. at the end of the day you one of my favorite to ever do it man.”
The two producers exchanged more tweets, and Vinylz added his thoughts to the online conversation as well.
“Lol thief .. all good tho.. our run continues as always without stealing sh-t …we create not remake..,” tweeted Vinylz.
He added, “I sent this thief a video of me making the ‘Deja Vu’ beat..a week later he post a beat on ig with the same drums. I made him take it down. He said ‘I’m sorry bro.. I was inspired . I look up to you’ few months later he decides to remake the whole beat and give it to Bryson.”
Then Teck posted, “here’s how honest i am [Vinlyz] the drums off you know were definitely your drums i was 19yrs old and just really learning sh-t. ‘Exchange’ however [Vinlyz] i made myself and sent it to [Daniel Worthy] to finish. he got stuck on it and never sent it back.”
The Florida native then blasted Boi-1da and Vinylz for claiming to own certain sounds.
Maybe @ForeignTeck can explain why to y’all why Exchange and Deja Vu sound similar… right @Vinylz ?

@ForeignTeck Just letting the ppl know that you’re a thief and this has nothing to do with anyone but you.

@ForeignTeck you’re really out here reverse engineering beats. It ain’t about money and placements, it’s the principle.
— Boi-1da (@Boi1da) December 9, 2016
@Boi1da yup, you nailed it bro. every beat i ever made is some instance of stealing. ?

He said “I’m sorry bro.. I was inspired . I look up to you” few months later he decides to remake the whole beat and give it to Bryson
— Vinylz (@Vinylz) December 9, 2016
He even offered me publishing on the song.. why would u offer publishing if you didn’t steal it?…
— Vinylz (@Vinylz) December 9, 2016
F### all this s### tho. This ain’t even my style. Me and 1da make hits in our sleep. We just had to address this.
— Vinylz (@Vinylz) December 9, 2016
S/o to my brother Bryson . He has nothing to do with this. This is all directed at the producer
— Vinylz (@Vinylz) December 9, 2016
I have no problem with producers being inspired and trying to sound like me .. but don’t steal my s### and put it out before me..
— Vinylz (@Vinylz) December 9, 2016
