After keeping fans waiting for months, Ye finally debuted his long-awaited album BULLY.
On Thursday night, March 27, the artist formerly known as Kanye West took over SoFi Stadium and played his 12th studio album for thousands of fans. Ye let the music play while several men boxed one another in a ring that was placed in the middle of the stadium. He began by playing "King" followed by "This is a Must" featuring Nine Vicious and "Father" with Travis Scott. His daughter, North West, also has a production credit on "Punch Drunk," which reminded fans of the "Old Kanye."
Ye's BULLY album has 18 tracks including collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, CeeLo Green, André Troutman and more. It's his first solo project to drop via gamma after Larry Jackson's label signed a deal with the veteran artist several months ago. Ye originally planned to release his follow-up to Donda 2 back in January. However, it was pushed back amid the backlash over his apology to all those he offended, including the Jewish and Black communities.
Fans have been impatiently waiting on Ye's latest album for the past year or so. Last summer, they were fed a handful of previously previewed tracks like "Preacher Man," "Beauty And The Beast," and "Last Breath" as Ye worked on the finishing touches. Despite earlier claims, no AI was used on Ye's vocals for the final version of the album. Fans grew more excited about the project earlier this month after they saw billboards promoting Ye's album pop up in major cities across the country.
Ye has not delivered the album on traditional streaming services. However, he did upload the entire project to YouTube. Stream the album now and check out some scenes from Ye's listening session in L.A. below.
