The Leak is an EP released prior to Tha Carter III. All of the tracks were recorded for that record, but were made available online before its release, prompting Wayne and his label to put them on an EP and try to sell them himself. This proved successful, as the EP sold 250,000 copies.
Both “Gossip” and “I’m Me” were released as singles prior to its release. None of the tracks found their way onto Tha Carter III.
