Kanye West Performs At Rolling Loud
West announced Bully during the Vultures listening party at Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, Hainan, earlier this month. Journalist Touré has since provided some insight into the project, taking to Instagram to reveal that Kanye is reportedly living in Tokyo to record the album. "He’s recording the album in the hotel room. Like, all the machines are set up in the hotel room," Touré said. “It’s a concept album and he plans to be the only producer on it. Traditionally, Kanye is the product of a team, there are producers helping him, there are writers helping him, he comes with the big ideas but there’s others in. Not this time. This time, Kanye is gonna make this pretty much by himself. A fresh chapter in his life because in Tokyo he can be who he wants to be.”
