Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, dropped his latest studio album, "Bully," on Friday, March 27.
The project marks his 12th studio album and his first solo release since "Donda 2" in 2022. Released through the independent label Gamma, "Bully" represents a return to form for the controversial rapper, who has fallen from grace in recent years over his espousing of antisemitic and racist beliefs. He has also been accused of sexual misconduct by former employees.
Ahead of the album's release, Ye took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal to apologize for his past remarks. Featuring cameos from Travis Scott and Nine Vicious, "Bully," which is out on YouTube, has yet to be released on major music streaming platforms.
