Kanye West just shared his most recent music with his “Vultures” albums collab with Ty Dolla Sign, and now the rapper has now announced his next solo album will be titled “Bully”.

While the rapper was performing at Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, China, he revealed the ‘Bully’ album was in the works, and he also debuted a new song called “Beauty and the Beast.” Toward the end of his performance (as heard in fan-captured video from the show), Ye told the crowd: “I got a new album coming out. The album’s called ‘Bully’ and this song is called ‘Beauty and the Beast.’” During the show, Ye also performed a finished version of “530” of “Vultures 2.”

On Instagram, Ye’s longtime producer Mike Dean noted that “Beauty and the Beast” was a “Donda leftover,” and was supposed to be on the 2021 album. In the new track, Ye sings: “I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect.”

“Bully” is expected to be Ye’s 11th solo studio album, and the follow-up to 2021’s “Donda.” He also dropped an unfinished “Donda 2” project in 2022.
