ye

Ye is the eighth studio album by the American rapper Kanye West. It was released on June 1, 2018, by GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings. West began working on it in 2017, but restarted it after a controversial interview with TMZ in May 2018, completing it over a period of two weeks. Guest appearances include Ty Dolla Sign, Kid Cudi, 070 Shake, Charlie Wilson, Jeremih, PartyNextDoor, and Nicki Minaj. Ye was the second of five 2018 albums produced by West in Jackson Hole as part of the "Wyoming Sessions", succeeding Pusha T's Daytona and preceding West and Kid Cudi's Kids See Ghosts, Nas's Nasir, and Teyana Taylor's K.T.S.E.. Ye is a hip-hop album, with music critics describing its sound as rushed and messy. Its themes and lyrics explore West's mental health. West discusses his bipolar disorder, struggles with suicidal and homicidal ideation, thoughts on women, experiences with psychedelic drugs, and fears about fatherhood. Ye received generally favorable reviews from critics, who frequently compared it to West's previous work. They praised its subject matter and production, though the lyrical content garnered mixed responses, and some found it inconsistent.
