Ye (formerly Kanye West) is back in action behind the console, which can only mean one thing: something big is brewing. Before his second coming at the Celestial Empire amidst his Asia-side quest, the Atlanta rapper has reclaimed control of his social media, dropping hints that there is way more than meets the eye. And since the 'Vultures' rapper is always on some next-level thinking, he has been teasing fans with snippets before fully diving into his solo era. The latest sample? It is a 1974 classic all the way from India that has fans in a complete frenzy.

Ye just hopped on his Instagram story to share a sneak peek at him, working his magic behind the console. While fans were busy decoding the beats from his latest teaser, it turns out the sample is from Asha Bhosle’s 1974 classic, ‘Mujhe Maar Daalo,’ from the film ‘Geeta Mere Naam.’ And though his followers thought Ye might just be taking his iconic domination tour over to Asia, it looks like his creative genius has something bigger up his sleeve. Hold those lattes tight—this is not just a casual shout-out to Asia, but one straight out of the legend’s playbook!
