Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Bully is the twelfth studio album by the American rapper Kanye West. It was released through YZY and Gamma on March 28, 2026. The album features guest appearances from Travis Scott, André Troutman, CeeLo Green, and Peso Pluma. Production was handled by West and Troutman themselves, the Legendary Traxster, 88-Keys, and James Blake, among others. "Father", a collaboration with Travis Scott, was released as the album's lead single along with its release.
West began working on Bully after the release of Vultures 1 and 2 (2024), and announced it in September 2024. He surprise released multiple work-in-progress versions via X on March 18, 2025. These were accompanied by a short film, Bully V1, directed by West and edited by Hype Williams. It stars West's son, Saint, who fights New Japan Pro-Wrestling wrestlers with a toy mallet.
Sonically, Bully V1 extensively relies on sampling and interpolations, and West mostly sings instead of rapping. Most of West's vocals in the original and physical releases were artificial intelligence-generated audio deepfakes, and he would later re-record most lyrics with his own vocals. Bully V1 received mixed reviews from music critics, with praise for its production, though some found its presentation lackluster.
Following the short film, West delayed Bully several times while promoting it with two extended play previews in June 2025. In March 2026, he first released the album on physical formats, which was criticized for its poor quality by fans. Shortly after, he premiered the album at a listening party in Inglewood livestreamed on YouTube. Hours following its removal, Bully was released to streaming services with a different tracklist. The album was met with a mixed response from music critics. West is set to tour the album from April to August 2026.
