Kanye West, now known as Ye, is preparing to release his twelfth studio album, BULLY. The project was first revealed in September 2024 during a listening event in China. Since then, it has gone through several delays and multiple unfinished versions.
Release Date
BULLY is currently scheduled to release on January 30, 2026. The date appears on Spotify’s pre-save page, which lists 13 tracks. The album missed earlier release plans in mid and late 2025.
Tracklist
The final tracklist has not been officially confirmed. However, a widely shared rumored version shows a two-side, vinyl-style layout.
Side A
- Preacher Man
- Beauty and the Beast
- Last Breath
- White Lines
- I Can’t Wait
- Bully
- All the Love
Side B
- This One Here
- Highs and Lows
- Mission Control
- Circles
- Damn
- Losing Your Mind
Several songs are already known to fans. “Damn” was released in June 2025 as part of a three-track EP. Other previewed or confirmed tracks include “Preacher Man,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Last Breath,” “White Lines,” “Highs and Lows,” and “Losing Your Mind.”
Album Details
The album uses heavy soul sampling. “Preacher Man” samples The Moments, while “Beauty and the Beast” samples The Mad Lads. Some songs date back to earlier sessions, including material from the Donda era.
Guest artists heard in previews include Peso Pluma, Playboi Carti, and Ty Dolla Sign, though the final album may focus more on Ye alone. The cover art was photographed by Daidō Moriyama.
What to Expect
As with many Ye projects, changes are still possible. Songs, features, and even the release date could shift before launch. For now, BULLY is set to arrive at the end of January 2026.
