Kanye West shares ‘Bombs’ video featuring his children North and Chicago
Kanye West has released a new music video featuring two of his children, North and Chicago. Entitled ‘Bomb’, the visuals mark his first since ‘Slide’ in August. Unlike the latter, ‘Bomb’ stars his kids. Akin to his Vultures 1 track ‘Talking / Once Again’, this song also features vocals from his eleven- and six-year-olds.
Although this is a new music video, the track isn’t new. ‘Bomb’ was a track that appeared on Vultures 2. The video is pretty engaging and shows Yuno Miles and West’s two daughters in a desert high-speed chase, attempting to escape various trolls and creatures.
The track was produced by Ty Dolla $ign and West under the duo moniker ¥$, but the video only features North West, Chicago West, and Yuno Miles. North even sings some of her verses in Japanese. Still, this video is merely a visual to keep fans happy while he works on Bully.
On October 25th, Kanye unveiled the album artwork for Bully on Instagram, which boasted a black-and-white photo taken by the esteemed 86-year-old Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama. The cover art shows a close-up of a young child rocking some grillz, very similar to the $850K titanium teeth the emcee had made earlier this year.
In the post, he assured fans that Bully was “on the way.” West is going to be the only producer on the entire album, which would make it the first project he has made entirely on his own since the release of his iconic debut album, College Dropout, 20 years ago in 2004.
‘Bomb’, ‘Slide’ and other music videos Kanye has released since Vultures 2 seem to be short visual projects accompanying the previously released albums. That said, fans are still determining if West will release Bully or Vultures 3 next, as he insisted that Vultures would be a trilogy earlier this year.
Musically, since the release of Vultures 2, fans have received very little, and Kanye seems an enigmatic figure living far away. Furthermore, it is fair to say with the Drake and Lamar beef, the ongoing allegations against Diddy and the release of Young Thug from jail after two years, hip-hop has had so much drama that for the moment, West seems to have become increasingly peripheral.
Furthermore, having been blackballed and therefore not appearing on any media outlets, he has not been seen or heard in the US for a long time and seems happy with his new life in Tokyo.
