Stereogum — Kanye West once called James Blake his “favorite artist” and they first worked together over a decade ago. In 2022, the English singer-songwriter and producer also teamed up with the rapper for a project called WAR which was never officially released.

Ye's comments were widely condemned and he lost several major business partnerships. In 2024 Blake appeared on “TALKING,” West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 1 track that marked Ye’s daughter North West’s musical debut. Now Ye has released the new album Bully, and Blake is credited on the closing track, "THIS ONE HERE."
