Bully[a] is the twelfth studio album by the American rapper Kanye West. It was released through YZY and Gamma on March 28, 2026.[b] The album features guest appearances from Travis Scott, André Troutman, CeeLo Green, Don Toliver, and Peso Pluma. Production was handled by West and Troutman themselves, the Legendary Traxster, Nkenge 1x, and 88-Keys, among others. "Father", a collaboration with Travis Scott, was released as the album's lead single along with its release. West began working on Bully after the release of Vultures 1 and 2 (2024), and announced it in September 2024. He surprise released multiple work-in-progress versions via X on March 18, 2025. These were accompanied by a short film, Bully V1, directed by West and edited by Hype Williams. It stars West's son, Saint, who fights New Japan Pro-Wrestling wrestlers with a toy mallet. Sonically, Bully V1 extensively relies on sampling and interpolations, and West mostly sings instead of rapping. Most of West's vocals in the original and physical releases were artificial intelligence-generated audio deepfakes, and he would later re-record most lyrics with his own vocals. Bully V1 received positive reviews from music critics, with praise for its production, though some found its presentation lackluster. Following the short film, West delayed Bully several times while promoting it with two extended play previews in June 2025. In March 2026, he first released the album on physical formats, which was criticized for its poor quality by fans. Shortly after, he premiered the album at a listening party in Inglewood livestreamed on YouTube. Hours following its removal, Bully was released to streaming services with a different tracklist. The album polarized critics, who praised the production and the more focused performances from West, but were divided over whether it was a return to form for West or a cheap imitation of his past work. Bully topped Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Independent Albums charts, and debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, marking West's second solo album not to debut at number one after The College Dropout (2004). West is set to tour the album from April to August 2026. Track listing Adapted from Apple Music.[152] All tracks are produced by Kanye West, except where listed.
