A few short hours remain until Kanye West draws the curtain back on new album ‘The Life Of Pablo.’
There’s no doubt that the set, which follows 2013’s ‘Yeezus,’ will generate ample conversation. Yet, so too it seems will the movement occurring behind the scenes.
Full story below…
The ever-reliable folk over at Hits Daily Double have gone live with a report touting 275,000 as the first week projection for ‘Pablo.’ However, the following extract seems to have flown under the radar of most:
Formerly managed by Roc Nation, the irrepressible, unpredictable artist now manages himself. How will this arrangement affect the album rollout?
If indeed true, it would – arguably – validate reports from last year that the rapper had severed ties with the Jay Z owned imprint. A claim that was quickly “squashed.“
Jury’s out on what (if anything) that means for his relationship with Jigga (who he’s maintained as an inspiration).
At the very least,though, Ye is still supporting TIDAL – allowing the service to live stream the global launch of ‘The Life Of Pablo’ later today.
Interesting times.
