Kanye West is back in action right now. It's been three years since he released his last album The Life Of Pablo and much as changed since then. For the past few years, the rapper's been focusing more on his Yeezy clothing brand but he's also been grinding heavily on his long-awaited eighth studio album. Earlier in the year, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Nas and more of his frequent collaborators were spotted in Wyoming working with 'Ye. He finally revealed that his album's coming on June 8th in the midst of his recent Twitter rants. Earlier today, he announced that he'll be dropping a new song called "Lift Yourself" that he said has "a verse that will bring Ebro the closure he's been seeking." A few hours later and it's finally arrived.
Kanye West has released his new song, "Lift Yourself." The song comes a few hours after he announced it. The rapper shared the song on his website. "Lift Yourself" highlights Kanye West's talent as a producer more than his actual rapping status although he does have a "verse" on there, kind of. For the time being, at least we have some new 'Ye to hold us over until his new album drops.
