Kanye finds great samples, delivers top - notch production that blends elements of 'Yeezus' and 'Pablo', and collaborates with both upcoming and established artists. It's an intimate project, like an open - door therapy session, where he shares his innermost thoughts on family, relationships, and his surroundings. The album comes from a dark place, but beautiful thoughts like the tracks 'Ghost Town', 'All Mine', 'No Mistakes', and 'Yikes' emerge alongside the darkness. It's pressed on black vinyl and released by Def Jam Recordings in 2018. Reviewed by Rei Kwondo in 06/18.
