Welcome to Yeezy Season
Last night saw Kanye West unveil his brand new album ‘YE‘ at a listening party streamed to the world. Check out footage and snippets of the album below.
West’s hotly-anticipated eighth album was played to the public for the first time at a listening session in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with the whole event streamed to the world via the WAV app. The album was originally being sold via a merch bundle on his website and due for release today on June 1, however there is currently no official public stream or release. It is expected to arrive at some point on Spotify and Apple Music, but not TIDAL.
Meanwhile, there’s plenty of footage featuring cuts of the record from the party in Wyoming attended by Chris Rock, Nas, Jonah Hill, Candace Owens and more – shared by those who were present and who ripped the stream:
It’s currently uncertain as to when we can expect official release information about the album, especially as the artwork was only shot while Kanye was en route to the party:
