Below is one of the first snippets called 'beauty and the beast'
Kanye West’s upcoming album, Bully, has fans buzzing with excitement and curiosity. Announced in late September during his Vultures 2 listening event in China, Bully is expected to mark a unique turn in Kanye’s career, as he has taken on the entire production process himself. This approach is a nod to his debut album, The College Dropout, where he also had a heavy hand in production, though he worked with others on key elements. This time, Kanye’s working solo, reportedly set up in a hotel in Tokyo where he’s crafted beats and lyrics from start to finish without outside input
A few tracks from Bully have already been previewed, including “Beauty and the Beast” and “Preacher Man.” These songs offer a mix of introspection and Kanye’s characteristic genre fusion, incorporating soulful melodies with complex, experimental production. Kanye has also leaned into visual artistry, collaborating with Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama on the cover art, a bold black-and-white image that reflects the raw and unfiltered tone of the album. This shift to Tokyo and the intense solitude of creating Bully appears to align with Kanye’s recent life changes and focus on personal authenticity.

Though the release date remains unknown, Bully could be Kanye’s third project of 2024 if it arrives this year. (Who knows at this point) The mystery around both the album's content and release timeline has left fans speculating about the sound, themes, and influences he might bring to this self-produced project. With Kanye’s creative unpredictability, Bully is bound to continue his legacy of artistic reinvention.
