Ye and YoungBoy Never Broke Again shocked fans by releasing their first-ever collaboration.
On Wednesday, May 21, the artist formerly known as Kanye West shared his new song "ALIVE" featuring YB. The Baton Rouge native and the Chicago artist go back and forth over a bass-filled beat that samples Playboi Carti's "Crank."
"Okay, these n***as in trouble, it's f**k 'em, I'm finna expose 'em, they too undеrcover," YB spits.
"How they go crazy just willin' to say that they hear me? Now, b***h, now I'm feelin' discovered," Ye raps. "Hold on, I came from the dead now, n***a, I feel alive."
Ye debuted the song on his Instagram page, but hasn't formally dropped it on streaming services. This is Ye's first new song since his last unofficial album CUCK was leaked online. The project, which was previously known as WW3, contains Ye's song "COUSINS," in which he admitted to having an incestuous relationship with his younger male cousin. Prior to that, the controversial artist dropped other projects like BULLY and released Donda 2 on streaming services. Ye dropped the sequel to his Donda album exclusively via his STEM player in 2022.
Meanwhile, this is YB's latest song since he announced his "Make America Slim Again (MASA) Tour." He plans to bring DeeBaby, EBK Jaaybo, and K3 with him as he invades 27 cities around the country. The tour begins in Dallas on September 2 and will continue to other major cities in states like California, Colorado, Arizona, Missouri, Illinois, Florida, New York, and more. The tour will close out with YoungBoy's final show in New Orleans.
In addition to "Alive," YB also dropped his latest solo track "Don't Answer." Listen to that song below.
