Ye, also known as Kanye West
, has dropped plenty of music since ending his hiatus. However, none of them have been universally recognized by fans as his comeback, and they are still holding out for that legendary resurgence. Over the years, Ye has faced a fall from grace. While some still support him because of his impact on music and culture, the media and general public have largely turned against him. However, there is finally a glimpse of hope.
Ye is now working on his upcoming big release, ‘Bully’. The album follows his last joint project, ‘Vultures,’ which received highly mixed reactions from fans. However, even before the release of ‘Bully,’ fans are already giving it a thumbs-up. Recently, a clip of Ye grooving to one of ‘Bully’s tracks went viral. Ye confidently showed off his moves, and it was clear—whether fans like it or not—Ye was proud of his creation. The snippet was shared by NFR Podcast, the same page that posted another teaser earlier this month.

In the previous snippet—likely from the same day or even the same place—Ye previewed a song for an audience. He played a sample-heavy track, nodding along to the beat. It had an interesting blend of styles, including the sped-up soul-sampling sound of the rapper’s early days as well as the maximalist and gospel vibe. But toward the end, Ye noticed someone recording him and quickly motioned for them to stop.

These snippets have only sparked more excitement for Ye’s next album and now fans are certain that a resurgence is near.
Fans see a brighter future for Ye’s Bully amid controversies
Ye first announced his new album last September, during a show in Haikou, China, where he also debuted the song ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Later, Mike Dean revealed that the track from ‘Bully’ was a leftover from a previous Ye album
. But now with the snippets, fans have become even more eager to see what Ye has in store. Many believe this could finally mark his long-awaited return. “Kanye is back
,” said a fan.

Some fans have even pointed out similarities between the ‘Bully’ snippet and Ye’s previous albums.

Despite the anticipation, Ye’s fans are cautious. This year alone, both ‘Vultures’ albums were delayed. The first was pushed back by months before its February release, while the second, set for March, was only released in August. So, how long ‘Bully’ will take is still uncertain.
