Ye’s Musical Journey with North West: A New Chapter Begins
Ye Updates Fans on North West’s Debut Album
On January 21, Ye took to Instagram to share an exciting update about his daughter North West’s upcoming rap album, Elementary School Dropout. The post features a striking black-and-white image of 11-year-old North sitting beside a keyboard, showcasing her budding interest in music.
In the heartfelt caption, Ye expressed his renewed passion for music, stating, “This little girl made me love music again.” He further revealed that North had encouraged him to create beats for her album, leading him to work on the ASR and craft beats by hand for the project.
North West: A Rising Star in Hip-Hop
North West made her official rapping debut on the track “Talking / Once Again” from the album Vultures 1. Her decision to pursue a rap career was announced almost a year ago during a Vultures 2 listening event held at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, where she excitedly told the audience, “I’ve been working on an album, and it’s called Elementary School Dropout.”
The album title cleverly nods to Ye’s iconic debut LP, The College Dropout, released in 2004, suggesting that North is not only following in her father’s footsteps but also paying homage to his musical legacy.
Ye’s Ongoing Musical Endeavors
In addition to working on North’s album, Ye is also focused on his solo project titled Bully. Teased since September, this upcoming album will be entirely produced by Ye himself and marks his first official solo release since 2021’s Donda. Currently being developed in Tokyo, Japan, Bully promises to showcase Ye’s unique sound and artistic vision. While no release date has been announced, anticipation for both projects is building among fans.
