Kanye West drops eighth solo album, ye
Kanye West has been acting mysterious and has kept fans on their toes. Today he finally dropped his eighth solo album, ye.
Simply titled ye, Kanye's new solo album spans seven tracks, features an album cover of the mountains in Wyoming where the album was recorded, and includes the contradictory slogan "I hate being Bi-Polar, it's awesome".
His wife, Kim Kardashian, revealed on Twitter he took the picture on his iPhone the night of the listening party.

Showcasing more seamless production from the controversial rapper, Kanye West's new album is the first solo project since 2016's The Life of Pablo.
Just last week, Kanye and Pusha-T dropped Daytona, the first of five albums produced by the rapper.
ye is the second out of five, still leaving room for next week's Kid Cudi collaborative album, and solo releases from Nas and Teyana Taylor coming later this month.
The seven-track release is just 23 minutes long, and features the likes of Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi, John Legend, Ty Dolla Sign, Jeremih, Young Thug, and Charlie Wilson.
NME reported that Tame Impala's Kevin Parker also contributed to the album, but didn't find out his contribution would feature on the album until last night's listening party in Wyoming.
