AceShowbiz - Now everyone can enjoy Kanye West's "The Life of Pablo". The rapper's newest album, which has been a Tidal exclusive for more than a month, was finally released in its entirety on other streaming services like Apple Music, Google Play Music and Spotify on Friday, April 1 at midnight.
The project is also available for download on KanyeWest.com, where it's offered for $20, but hasn't arrived on iTunes yet. Upon the wide release of "Pablo", 'Ye's label Def Jam noted that he would still make changes to 19 tracks off the album, which he called a "living breathing changing creative expression."
"In the months to come, Kanye will release new updates, new versions and new iterations of the album," the label said in a statement. "Stay tuned for updates on Kanye West's living album project, 'The Life of Pablo'."
"The Life of Pablo" was first debuted during Kanye's Yeezy 3 fashion show at New York's Madison Square Garden in February. It's dropped on Tidal a few days later. In one month, Kim Kardashian's husband has made several minor and major changes to some of its cuts, including the Rihanna-assisted "Famous".
Just hours before "Pablo" hit streaming services, a brand new Kanye song that's not on the record leaked online. A CDQ version of "Saint Pablo" made its way out online on Thursday night, weeks after the Chicago MC premiered it at Yo Gotti's release party at 1OAK nightclub in L.A. The song was rumored to be titled "Closest Thing to Einstein" back then.
On the track, Ye talks about everything from his $53 million debt to his decision to partner with Tidal to release his album. "It's better that I stayed at home with my folks 'cause if Jay a billionaire then I'ma never go broke," he raps at one point.
In other Kanye-related news, he has reportedly hired Scooter Braun as his new manager. A source told Billboard that the father of two has been working with the renowned manager for a month now. Braun, whose long list of clients includes Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, shares management duties with Kanye's longtime rep, Izzy Zivkovic.
