BULLY reportedly draws sonic inspiration from West’s earlier work on 808s & Heartbreak (2008) and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), relying heavily on sampling and interpolation, with West primarily singing rather than rapping. The original releases of the album featured vocals created using artificial intelligence deepfakes, though West intends to re-record the lyrics with his own voice.

For West, represents a potentially pivotal month, signaling a renewed global push for both his live performances and his long-awaited album release.
