With a captivating cover shot by Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama, Kanye West‘s forthcoming 11th album, “Bully”, is set to make waves. The “All of the Lights” raper, who is now known as Ye, has unveiled the enigmatic cover art for the upcoming solo album, “Bully”, which is slated for release soon.

Captured by renowned Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama, the monochrome image depicts an individual grinning widely, showcasing what appears to be Ye’s signature titanium grills. Inspired by the ancient Japanese tradition of “ohaguro,” where teeth are dyed black as a symbol of adulthood, beauty, or marriage, the cover artwork sparks intrigue.

Ye has been hard at work on “Bully” in Tokyo, experimenting with a new creative process where he is the sole producer of the album. Departing from his usual collaborative approach, the concept-driven project promises a unique and personal musical journey.

Following the success of his previous joint albums with Ty Dolla $ign titled “Vultures 1” and “Vultures 2”, Ye’s fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of “Bully”. The album’s release date remains unannounced, but anticipation is building for more music from the prolific hip-hop star who continues to push the boundaries of his artistry.
