WAR
A collaborative project between Kanye West, James Blake and No I.D.. Sessions for the project began around April/May 2022. On his third Drink Champs interview, Ye referred to these sessions as work for "their album". Three songs from the project were played at a party featured on Naomi Campbell's Instagram, with the song "Always" being previewed in full at YZY Season 9 shortly thereafter. The project was presumably scrapped in the wake of Ye's numerous antisemitic comments, considering that James Blake has previously cancelled projects with Kanye due to Kanye's radical political views. However, insiders have stated the project is still being worked on, and was worked on in 2023.

✨ Talking [V4] TALKING / ONCE AGAIN (ref. Fat Money) (prod. James Blake & No I.D.) Fat Money reference track. Leaked by Fat Money himself as a response to the release of VULTURES 2. Most likely the WAR version of the song as Fat Money does the same flow as the faint Ye mumble on release and has a different chop. | CD Quality Full | External Link | |
