In a surprise move that has captured the attention of the music world, Kanye West has announced that a deluxe version of his latest album, Bully, is set to arrive on June 19. The announcement came just moments before the tip-off of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks.
Given the proximity of the release date—merely 10 days from the announcement—there is a growing sense of optimism among fans that the project is already finalized and will avoid the notorious delays that have historically plagued the artist’s release schedules. Interestingly, the June 19 release date is expected to coincide with Game 7 of the NBA Finals, adding another layer of anticipation to the week.
