Kanye West Bully album has officially released three songs that are currently available only on Tidal. The streaming platform, which West once held equity in, is the exclusive home to the tracks “Preacher Man,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Damn.” These songs first appeared on the visual album also titled Bully.
Kanye West Bully album’s release plan is unlike any other. West shared with fan account YeFanatics that he intended to drop 10 songs over several days. He said, “Releasing 5 of the songs 2nt. Will release another 5 2mrw. And then more the next day. Still working on the album. Share this message.” This rollout strategy includes the use of A.I. vocals, adding a modern twist to the album’s sound.
Earlier this year, West released Bully as a visual album. However, the full album release has been delayed. Originally, Kanye West Bully album was set to drop completely on June 15. That date passed with no full release. Meanwhile, West has continued working on the project, promising more music soon.
West’s follow-up to Bully, an album titled CUCK, was leaked in full last month. The leak occurred on Discord and quickly spread across YouTube and other platforms before being removed. The leak appeared to be an act of retaliation against West’s recent antisemitic remarks.
Leakers left a message with the album stating, “Fuck Nazis. 50-year-old loser promoting fascism and hate speech. All proceeds from this groupbuy were donated to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.”
Responding on social media, West wrote, “Somebody got a drive and threw it on YouTube and said this is CUCK. What I love about getting blocked on DSPs and having songs leaked and shows cancelled is… It proves everything I’m saying and why I’m saying.”
The Bully album has faced major obstacles in distribution. The single “Heil Hitler” was uploaded to streaming platforms but was removed in less than 24 hours due to its offensive content. Additionally, the album’s cover art features Ku Klux Klan members, adding to its controversy and difficulty finding official outlets.
