\u00a0 \u00a0On Friday, June 1 Kanye West released an album titled \u201cye.\u201d This is his eighth solo album, and apparently 2018 will see a couple more Yeezy album releases.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0This album is comprised of seven songs with a total length of 23 minutes. His lyrics are about various topics, ranging from the #MeToo movement and mental health issues to Tristan Thompson and Kanye\u2019s personal views on women.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Kanye celebrated his album release with a get together of some of his close friends and family in Wyoming around a campfire Thursday night. Guests included 2Chainz, Candice Owens, Chris Rock, Jonah Hill and of course Kim Kardashian-West. The entire event was live-streamed on a mobile app for fans to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0In 2016, Kanye announced he would be dropping a follow up album to \u201cThe Life of Pablo\u201d<\/span> and it was to be called \u201cTurbo Grafx 16<\/span>.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0However, since then there have been many obstacles thrown in his path that have prevented the release of it. He had a breakdown where he ended up in the hospital in 2016, not sure he was going to make it out alive. This was only a month after his wife, Kim, was robbed in Paris in October of 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen\u00a0 \u00a0The cover of his album is a picture of a snow-capped mountain range, most likely reflecting the landscape of Wyoming where he has spent most of his time recording new music. It also has writing that says \u201cI hate being bi-polar, it\u2019s awesome.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0This is portraying the mental dissonance Kanye feels regarding his mental health. However, he does report he is on medication and feeling much better than he did back in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0In Track 1 \u201cI Thought About Killing You,\u201d Kanye raps about the fact that he has contemplated suicide, but still loves himself more than anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0In Track 7 \u201cViolent Crimes,\u201d he raps about his daughters, and reveals how his perception of women has changed since the birth of his two daughters Chicago and North.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Kanye also released two singles, \u201cLift Yourself\u201d and \u201cYe vs. The People\u201d to further tease his album. \u201cLift Yourself\u201d is a song commemorating the fact that he is back in the game after being on a break for the past two years to be with family and heal from his mental breakdowns. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kanye_West_producer\"\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cYe vs. The People\u201d is a political debate between West himself and fellow rapper T.I. In this song, Kanye brings attention to all the online debates about his feelings towards Donald Trump, free thinking and tearing down black political stereotypes. It is simply \u201cYe\u201d (Kanye) vs. \u201cThe people\u201d (T.I.) with West rapping about his views on such issues and T.I. representing the voice of the people that possess opposing views.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0With the release of this new album, he reports \u201cYe\u201d is only one album of four others that will be released this month. Fans can expect to hear collaborations from artists such as Nas, Pusha-T, and Teyana Taylor. He also recently released \u201cKids See Ghost,\u201d a collaboration album with fellow G.O.O.D. Music labelmate Kid Cudi. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0All in all, Kanye wants the world to know that he is back and better than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n
