Arriving on-site, select media, friends, and family were transported in shuttles to the main studio lot, which had all things New York City. Repping her hometown of Harlem, Teyana Taylor had NYC cop cars with flashing lights posted around the backdrop of tall buildings, setting the vibe of the real Concrete Jungle.

Of course, the free merch was on everyone’s mind. Many stood in line as neon hoodies, long-sleeve tees, and hats were handed out one by one.
Many artists were in attendance, including CyHi The Prynce, Nelly, Migos, A.Chal, Monica, Sevyn Streeter, and way more.

Teyana Taylor was moving back and forth in the lot, turning up like she does best.
When midnight rolled out, attendees were lead inside the warehouse to hear the actual album. 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Desiigner, Lil Kim, and many more were eager to hear the new project.
While Teyana was the woman of the hour, Kanye moved around the warehouse with a mob attached. Everyone who was around him was trampled and swept away, but it was all in good fun.
The album played back a few times, and even ended with a full-blown dance party.
