Rapper records an album in secret inside an Apple store

“It wasn’t my plan to record this at the Apple Store. First, my computer died. Then my external [hard drive] died,” he told The Daily Beast. “New York is expensive. I couldn’t just buy another laptop. I just thought, ‘I’m going to die before anyone knows I’m hot.’”

Harvey learned how to beat the system by befriending a few kind Apple employees and finding shortcuts such as hiding his files in the trash as to avoid the daily computer memory wipes. He dealt with obstacles like unfriendly security or store fire drills when he couldn't save his work in time before leaving the store. But after five days a week for 16 weeks, the album was finished -- without any instruments or high-quality studio equipment.
