Ye (formerly Kanye West) revealed the tracklist for his upcoming Bully album in a handwritten note posted to X on Wednesday (March 25).


West also squashed any social media speculation that AI would be used on certain tracks. “BULLY ON THE WAY NO AI,” he wrote.

Of the 18 tracks, fans will notice many familiar song titles with earlier versions of Bully that leaked, such as “Preacher Man,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Last Breath” and “Father,” which features an assist from Travis Scott.

West stopped short of confirming that the album would arrive on its scheduled release date of Friday (March 27), so it remains to be seen when the LP will ultimately hit DSPs. As any Ye fan knows, nothing is official until the album is on streaming services, and a whirlwind of a weekend could be in store.

Yeezy — who has faced intense backlash due to his antisemitic hate speech in recent years, though he took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal to apologize and blame his “reckless behavior” on a brain injury — has taken a different approach to the Bully rollout. Around album time, he’s typically very active on social media and churning out headlines, but he’s been keeping the chatter and antics to an absolute minimum.

Bully will be released by Gamma, as West reunites with the independent label’s founder, Larry Jackson, with whom he has a relationship dating back to Jackson’s days working at Apple Music in the mid-2010s.

There are listening parties scheduled across the globe this weekend, and West will bring Bully to the stage when he performs a pair of shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1 and April 3.

The shows serve as Ye’s first stadium performance since 2021’s Larry Hoover Benefit concert. The 48-year-old hasn’t embarked on an official U.S. tour since the Saint Pablo Tour in 2016.
