He posted on his Instagram, “Live from Haikou. Updated from Tokyo. I ran the ASR up to SP 1200. I was bullied along the way.” The song is titled “Beauty and the Beast.” It takes on a much darker tone than his recent work with collaborator Ty Dolla $ign. Ye sings about having “new tires” and says he tries to control his emotions in order to “cheer up the audience.”
According to an Instagram video posted by journalist Touré, Ye is currently living in Japan and intends to handle most of the production of Bully himself. “Kanye is currently living in Tokyo and is hard at work on his next album, ‘Bully.’ He is recording an album in a hotel room. The machines are all like they’re in a hotel room. ”
He added, “This is a concept album and he’s going to be the sole producer. Traditionally, Kanye’s been the product of a team, he’s had producers helping him, he’s had writers helping him, he’s got big ideas.” But not this time. This time, Kanye will be able to be who he wants to be, creating a new chapter in his life. .”
Also, while in China, Ye gave a shoutout to Drake for writing the chorus for “Yikes,” which is included on his 2018 album “Ye.” We’ll be sure to update you once he announces the release date for Bully.
