Kanye West has unexpectedly leaked his new album, Bully, along with a short film featuring his son, Saint.
The rapper shared an early version of the album on his X page, requiring a password for access.
AI Vocals and Unfinished Tracks
West admitted that the album, titled Bully V1, is unfinished, with several vocals generated by artificial intelligence. He stated that he now dislikes AI and plans to re-record the vocals himself.
The leaked version contains 10 tracks, featuring Playboi Carti and Ty Dolla $ign. However, West has had recent conflicts with both artists, making their inclusion surprising.
‘Bully V1’ Tracklist:
- Preacher Man
- Can’t Hurry Love
- White Lines
- Circles
- Bully
- Last Breath (feat. Peso Pluma)
- Beauty and the Beast
- This One Here
- Highs and Lows
- Melrose (feat. Playboi Carti & Ty Dolla $ign)
Controversy and Streaming Plans
Kanye hinted that Bully might not be available on major streaming platforms, claiming that digital streaming services manipulate numbers and that record labels mistreat artists.
The short film, directed by Kanye and edited by Hype Williams, showcases Saint wearing a Real Madrid jersey while battling wrestlers in a ring.
What’s Next for Kanye?
West previously announced that Bully would officially drop on June 15, coinciding with his daughter North’s birthday.
He also teased another album, Donda 2, and asked fans whether they preferred Donda 3 or a third Vultures album with Ty Dolla $ign.
Despite the leaks and controversies, Kanye West continues to dominate conversations in the music industry.
