All we know so far about Kanye West's Bully album
Kanye West's upcoming project, Bully, is expected to be his tenth studio album and will follow in the footsteps of Donna, which came out in August 2021.
The latest track - Beauty and Beast - that Kanye debuted at the Monday concert in China is speculated to be one of the singles from the new album. The track seems to be a heartfelt message from the rapper directed at fans and features the verses:
“I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect.”
Kanye West's longtime collaborator and record producer, Mike Dean, made a big revelation about Beauty and Beast on September 28. Dean reportedly claimed that the track was a leftover from Ye's 2021 album, Donna.
As of this writing, Kanye has yet to hint at a tentative release date for Bully and has been keeping most details about the album under wraps. Seemingly used to the delay in the rapper's albums, some of Ye's fans and critics are not expecting Bully to drop anytime soon.
Kanye West had fans agitated recently with the long delays in the release of the collaborative albums Vultures and Vultures 2 with Ty Dolla $ign.
While Vultures was slated for a release in mid to late 2023, it was pushed back to 2024 and finally dropped on February 10. The Vultures 2 album, on the other hand, was set to be released on March 8, 2024, but was delayed by five months and came out on August 3.
Irrespective of the delays, the two albums received positive response from fans nationwide.
Kanye West's Vultures sold over 148,000 album-equivalent units in the opening week and debuted at the top of the Billboard 299 chart. Vultures 2 sold over 107,000 album-equivalent units in the first six days and debuted at no. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Fans can expect Kanye West to share more details about Bully in the coming months. The rapper, currently on a world tour to support Vultures and Vultures 2, may also preview other tracks from the album at different concerts.
Ye began his global tour on June 22 in Toronto and is set to cover shows in major cities across Canada, the U.S., Mexico, the U.K., Europe, UAE, Australia, and Asia. He will wrap up the outing next year in Australia.
