Kanye West is known for many things, from his designer line Yeezy to his erratic behavior. However, the man is most famous for his contributions to the music industry. Ye announced his entry to the music scene with the album ‘College Dropout’. Since then he has continued to release music. His music is acclaimed for its progressiveness, which can also be seen in his stage performances. Despite making headlines every day for saying or doing the wrong thing, industry insiders still can not deny that he is a musical genius. And so does Chloe Bailey, who just dropped her solo album. 

Chloe Bailey recently debuted her first solo album, ‘In Pieces’. To announce this mega-event, she took to her Twitter to update her fans on this achievement. While introducing her album, the girl noted that the sound in her album is reminiscent of Ye’s music. As a big fan of Kanye West, Travis Scott, and Mike Dean, she wanted her fans to also feel exactly what she felt listening to their tracks – fun and different. She added a progressive touch to her sounds, the key element that sets Ye’s music apart from others.

I’ve always wanted it to feel progressive and different and fun and… the feeling I get when I listen to Kanye [West] and Mike Dean and Travis [Scott], I always wanted that sound in my music,” she shared in the video.

Filled with mirth, the ‘Have Mercy’ singer informed her fans of the effort she put into her debut album. The singer has produced every song on the album except for two. Meanwhile, in 2022, Kanye West’s anti-Semitic tirade caused a lot of upheaval in his life and career. Although he was canceled and banned on social media, his music was never taken off the internet.

Spotify refused to take down the music of Kanye West 

The largest music streaming platform cited that while hate speech was against their music, the platform only hosted his songs. Even his music label, Def Jam label, which owns the rights, condemned his behavior but didn’t move further to take the songs down.

However, according to recent reports, Ye is projecting a Jew-friendly image. He credited Jonah Hill’s performance in 22 Jump Street and regretted his behavior on a social media post, stating that it was wrong to hold everyone accountable for the fault of a few people.
