Kanye West & Ye - BULLY - DELUXE (2026) [Hi-Res]

Bully is the upcoming twelfth studio album by American rapper Ye, announced in September 2024 and scheduled for release in 2026 via YZY and Gamma. It belongs to the hip-hop genre with influences from soulful and R&B-tinged productions, minimalist tracks, and experimental elements such as samples from French funk bands. Ye describes it as his most authentic project in years, a hyper-frequency evolution that he compares to classics like The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Gnarls Barkley's St. Elsewhere, and his own 808s & Heartbreak. He originally planned AI-generated vocals to morph voices as next-level sampling, but his team confirmed that this was scrapped for purely human authenticity, partly due to contributions from producers like Mike Dean. The album featured multiple delays and work-in-progress versions with various tracklists, shared via social media, accompanied by EPs with singles, merchandise, and visual films. Guest appearances come from artists such as Peso Pluma, Playboi Carti, and Ty Dolla Sign, while Ye explores introspective themes regarding celebrity, reality, and personal reflection. Despite controversies surrounding Ye's statements, Bully remains a solo effort following his Vultures collaborations, with a focus on emotional depth and innovative beats.
