Music News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Kanye West's Bully Album, James Blake's Credit Dispute. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On March 2, 8, Kanye West just dropped his 12th studio album, Bully, with a YouTube live stream on March 27, and it's now live on. Spotify and Apple Music, producer James Blake credited on the closer. This one here, alongside Y-A-Y, Don Tolliver and Quinton Miller, once his name pulled from the credits. He says the final track doesn't capture the spirit of what he built from Kanye's freestyle. Blake explained on social media that while some of his pitching and structure remains, it's mixed with new vocals, and his original vision is mostly gone. He doesn't want credit for work that's not truly his, especially since he couldn't shape the end result. It's not personal, he stressed, just about artistic integrity. Fans are buzzing about this split, especially given their history. Back around uses in 2014, Kanye called Blake one of his favorites. They tried collaborating on tracks like Timeless, but it fell through, and a joint project called War in 2022 never saw release.
Meanwhile, Y-A-Y dropped a wild video for the single father, featuring Travis Scott, directed by his wife Bianca Sensori. It shows Aliens and Knights in a church, with Michael Jackson lurking. He also announced that launch show in Los Angeles on April 3rd and European dates, his first headlines there in 12 years. Bully's been teased for two years with singles like preacher man, and Y-A-Y insists no AI was used this time. Amid his past controversies, including retracted anti-Semitic remarks and Nazi claims he later walked back, this album rollout keeps the drama rolling. As fans dive in, that's the story for today. Music news today, driven by AI.
