Kanye West has been surprisingly quiet during this election year and while he seems to be keeping to himself as of late, the polarizing artist is making some noise thanks to a surprising announcement he made at a recent show in China. A new album called Bully.
Over the weekend, news broke that Yeezy is prepping to drop a brand new album. He told a crowd at the Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, China, that “I got a new album coming out.”
With cheers erupting at the big reveal, Ye continued, “The album is called Bully, and this song is called “Beauty And The Beast.” Going into a soft and smooth melody, Kanye gets into his 808s & Heartbreak mode and begins singing, “It’s been a long time coming/fresh new ties, I’m still runnin’/It’s a few things I’m overcoming…”
We’re not gonna lie, the song sounds pretty good.
With this being Kanye’s first solo album in a while, we wonder if he’ll once again try to get this project up and running exclusively on the ill-fated Stem Player that seemingly crashed and burned just a few years ago.
Interestingly enough, HipHopNMore reports that Ye’s long-time collaborator, Mike Dean, left a comment saying that the track is actually a leftover from Ye’s 2022 album, Donda.
Still, pretty good song.
