In a move that is turning heads and cranking up the hype for his ‘Vultures’ solo show in China, Ye just dropped a major throwback on Instagram. He shared a childhood picture on Instagram from his days in China when his mom was teaching at Nanjing University and captioned it simply with a bold “BACK.” His social media overhaul might have started with just a teaser poster for the event, but now it is buzzing with nostalgia to amp up the excitement.

As soon as Ye announced the listening experience, fans dove into the archives, unearthing memories of his time in China from a 2004 Vibe Magazine interview. With everyone hitting rewind to relive his childhood just before a grand artistic return, the only thing amiss was a childhood teaser from Ye himself. For those not in the loop, Ye is set to perform in Haikou City in Hainan Province on September 15 with a listening event that promises to be as epic as his throwback pic.
