This year was set to be one for the music history books. Although ‘Vultures’ marked Ye’s return to the music scene, now that he is transitioning into another era, the world is back to counting down the days. Fresh off his spectacle in China’s Haikou City, the buzz hit a new high when GoodAssSub on X dropped a screenshot of 88 Keys' chat when the latter could not resist hitting Instagram to shout out Ye’s track ‘Preacher Man’ with some serious praise.

Preacher Man’ debuted at Ye’s ‘Vultures’ listening party in China, and fans were instantly on the edge of their seats. Naturally, the fan page wasted no time asking 88 Keys for his take on what is coming next. But, like any artist in Ye’s mysterious orbit, Keys kept it cryptic, saying, “all will be revealed when he’s ready to let the good people know.”

The fan page tried to get the scoop on whether the album would be solo or a duo, but Keys kept the suspense alive even then. While the details of his new project are still pretty hazy, one thing that needs no introduction is the recent buzz about ‘Donda 2.’

American record producer and singer Digital Nas recently dropped a bombshell on his Instagram story, sharing a conversation with Ye that gave fans a juicy sneak peek into their music from ‘Donda 2’. The timing could not be more perfect, as it lines up with all the ‘Vultures’ buzz. The chat showed Nas sending Ye some fresh, never-before-heard tracks, including one called ‘Security.’ 

Nas even wrote, “WE PUT THE SECURITY AT RISK” and tossed in an audio clip for extra spice. The exchange teased new tunes or maybe remixes of some old favorites, but in true Ye style, his reply was cryptic, with no hard details. Just like his recently teased project, the when and why are still wrapped in mystery, but one thing’s for sure—if it is Ye’s music, the hype is real, and the specifics can wait.
