Kanye West<\/a>\u00a0has made his new album \u2018Bully\u2019 available on streaming services, after debuting it on a YouTube livestream.<\/p>\n

The rapper, now known as Ye,\u00a0shared the\u00a0tracklist for his 12th studio record on Wednesday <\/a>(March 25) and on\u00a0Friday, and\u00a0gave fans their first chance to listen to it in full when he premiered it live on YouTube.<\/p>\n

For a brief period, it was unclear whether \u2018Bully\u2019 would eventually be made available on regular streaming platforms, but at the time of writing on Saturday (March 28),\u00a0the full 18-track album\u00a0is streaming in full on Spotify\u00a0and Apple Music, among other streamers.<\/p>\n

Ye has also shared the video for the single \u2018Father\u2019,\u00a0which features\u00a0a verse from\u00a0Travis Scott<\/a>. The clip is directed by\u00a0Ye\u2019s wife Bianca\u00a0Censori\u00a0and it features a church setting populated by aliens and knights, with an unexplained\u00a0Michael Jackson<\/a>\u00a0sitting in the background.<\/p>\n

Check the video out below, as well as the Spotify link to the album.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As well as Scott, \u2018Bully\u2019 features contributions from\u00a0CeeLo Green<\/a>,\u00a0Don Toliver<\/a>,\u00a0Peso Pluma<\/a>\u00a0and Andre Troutman, with production coming from\u00a0James Blake<\/a>, 88-Keys, The Legendary\u00a0Traxster\u00a0and others.<\/p>\n

Announcing the\u00a0tracklist\u00a0earlier this week,\u00a0Ye said there was no AI used in its creation<\/a>, contradicting what he had said last year when he claimed that he had incorporated the technology into his writing process in \u201cthe same way I incorporated Auto-Tune\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018BULLY\u2019 was first announced by West two years ago<\/a>, and has seen a number of expected release dates come and go. Last June, he previewed it with the singles \u2018Preacher Man\u2019, \u2018Beauty And The Beast\u2019, \u2018Damn\u2019 and \u2018Last Breath\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ye has also\u00a0announced an album launch show in Los Angeles, set for April 3,<\/a>\u00a0and confirmed more European dates for this year, marking his first headline dates on the continent in 12 years. He\u00a0is\u00a0yet to announce any UK shows for this year.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0last performed a full live show in Los Angeles in 2021, when\u00a0he took to the stage with Drake in aid of the Free Larry Hoover cause<\/a>. In 2024,\u00a0he was criticised for \u201cbarely performing\u201d when he appeared with Ty Dolla $ign to open LA\u2019s Rolling Loud Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ye shared\u00a0numerous highly controversial posts in early 2025<\/a>, when he\u00a0took back an apology to the Jewish community for his previous anti-semitic remarks<\/a>, and declared himself \u201ca Nazi\u201d.\u00a0He later\u00a0said on X\/Twitter that, \u201cafter further reflection\u201d, he\u2019d \u201ccome to the realisation that I\u2019m not a Nazi\u201d<\/a>. But this was followed\u00a0only a few days later by yet more swastika apparel appearing on his X page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last November,\u00a0West held a meeting with a rabbi and apologised for his anti-Semitic comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, in January, Ye claimed that\u00a0his recent apology for his past anti-Semitic comments <\/a>was\u00a0not about his forthcoming new album or an attempt to \u201crevive\u201d his career<\/a>. He also shared details of\u00a0his bipolar type-1 diagnosis<\/a>, which\u00a0he\u2019d dismissed early last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
