Wiley And Skepta Are Credited As Composers On The Tracklist For Kanye's 'Ye'


June 18, 2018

Just over two weeks ago, Kanye West dropped his new album Ye and, despite whipping up even more than his usual share of controversy and thus incurring widespread threats of boycotting, the album sold insanely well and dominated every chart imaginable.

Now the project's full tracklist and credits have been revealed, adding some surprising new dimensions to the record. First and foremost are our very own Skepta and Wiley who are both credited as composers on opening track "I Thought About Killing You".

Elsewhere, Drake was listed as lyricist and composer on "Yikes", while Tame Impala's Kevin Parker was listed as the same for "Violent Crimes", and CyHi The Prynce and Malik Yusef were also named as songwriters for several tracks on the album. PARTYNEXTDOOR was credited on "Wouldn't Leave", while Pulitzer Price for Music winner Caroline Shaw reportedly contributed vocals and production to "No Mistakes".

So, Kanye's love affair with grime might not have been as short-lived as it seemed. Only time will tell whether the three will be reunited on record again, though.
