Ye’s Bully Finally Drops — 18-Track LP Marks His First Solo Studio Album Since Donda
After years of delays, shifting tracklists, AI controversies, and a public reckoning with his own behavior, Ye has delivered. Bully, the twelfth studio album from the artist formerly known as Kanye West, officially arrived on streaming platforms on March 28, 2026 — released through YZY and Gamma, and receiving mixed-to-positive reviews from music critics who credited it as a significant improvement over its earlier revisions. For the music industry, it is one of the most consequential hip-hop album drops in years. For Ye himself, it is the album that was supposed to arrive over a year ago — and somehow still managed to keep the world waiting until the very last moment. Years in the Making, Minutes Away from Chaos The 18-track album marks West’s first proper solo studio effort since Donda in 2021, following the collaborative Vultures series with Ty Dolla Sign. Work on Bully stretches back years, with West first announcing the project in 2024 and initially targeting a June 15, 2025 release. That date came and went. So did several others. The album was delayed through September, November, December, and January, before a deal with the independent music company Gamma finally locked in a March 27 release
