The rapper's unreleased album, which was supposed to hit the stores on Black Friday last year, made its way out on Tuesday, October 1 in the form of ringtones.

AceShowbiz - People were sent into frenzy on Tuesday morning, October 1 when they discovered that Kanye West's unreleased album "Yandhi" was released on iTunes in the form on ringtones. However, hours after its surprise release, the effort was removed from the music site allegedly because the ringtones were scraped from leaked copies of the original tracks.

According to the metadata, all of the tracks listed ENZO Label as the copyright holder, which is surely raising eyebrows considering that Kanye usually releases his music through Def Jam Music Group of Roc Nation Records. Furthermore, it's been reported that ENZO Label is known for releasing illegal copies of existing songs, such as The Kooks' "Junk of the Heart" and Scorpions' "Rock You Like a Hurricane", on streaming services.

Reps for Kanye, meanwhile, have yet to respond to the leak.

"Yandhi" was supposed to hit the stores on Black Friday last year. However, the rapper decided to push back the release date of the album as he felt like it wasn't ready to be released. Kanye even went all the way to Uganda to finish the record, but it's never seen the light of the day since then. Instead, he announced last month that he would be releasing an album called "Jesus Is King". But just like "Yandhi", the release date of the new record has been pushed back.

Kanye first announced that the album would make its way out on Friday, September 27, before his wife Kim Kardashian later revealed that the release date had been pushed back to Sunday, September 30 as he worked on the finishing touch. However, "Jesus Is King" has yet to be released as of pressed time. It is now unknown when the album will finally hit the stores, though some have speculated that Kanye will release it on the same day as the premiere of his documentary on October 25.
