Kanye West Shares The Tracklist For ‘Bully’ And Addresses The AI Claim

Kanye West has announced the tracklist for his upcoming album, Bully, which is set to be released later this week.

On March 25, he posted a handwritten tracklist for his 12th studio album on X (formerly Twitter), with the album expected to drop on March 27 through Gamma.

Bully, West’s first solo project since 2021’s Donda, contains 18 tracks and features several previously released songs, such as “Preacher Man,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Damn.”

Details about the producers and potential featured artists have not yet been disclosed, but there are rumors that Travis Scott may appear on a track titled “Father.” Longtime collaborator Mike Dean is also reported to be involved in the project.

In his post, Kanye West stated that Bully will not include any artificial intelligence, which contradicts an earlier claim about using AI to write and record parts of the album to recreate his voice.

In a 2025 interview with Justin Laboy, he discussed experimenting with an AI program, explaining the technology’s impact on music production. He mentioned the ability to separate songs into different elements, allowing him to communicate with his engineers using specific terms related to digital music.

West has stated that, despite experimenting with AI, he “chopped up all the samples by hand” and described Bully as a more “positive” project.

He likened Bully to his Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Gnarls Barkley albums, indicating that the title has a connotation that he believes can be reinterpreted positively.

Bully is his first album following an apology for his antisemitic remarks, which had resulted in the loss of various business partnerships and significant changes to his personal and professional status.

In a letter published in The Wall Street Journal earlier this month, West expressed regret for his past actions, attributing them to undiagnosed brain injuries from a car accident in 2002. He acknowledged his behavior but clarified that it does not define him.

Bully will be accompanied by a series of tour dates, including performances at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1 and 3, and in several countries including India, Turkey, France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain from June to August.
