Kanye West & Dr. Dre: 2 Rap Legends Side-by-Side in Historic Collaboration

Kanye West and Dr. Dre are cooking up something big. Less than a year after the brief and religious (and strange) jesus is king, Kanye West warm up the engines of a new studio album. And he does it accompanied by Dr. Dre in the production, as we have been able to confirm this week. Today we were able to hear Wash us in the blood, a new song by Kanye West with Travis Scott that is the first advance of the album, which will be called God's country. What we still don't know is who has the last word in the production of the album. Dre or Kanye? It's not every day you see two production legends working side by side.

Kanye West and Dr. Dre: what can go wrong?

Despite that Kanye West already announced to us last November that he was preparing, together with Dr. Dre, a continuation of jesus is kingwe needed something to confirm that we were not facing a mirage. Eight months of silence is too many. It wouldn't be the first time that Kanye West troll. It would not be the first time that Dr. Dre (obsessive perfectionist) chooses to keep a job in the drawer. It wouldn't be the first time that a stellar collaboration has been a dream (there's the J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar joint album that we'll never hear).

On Friday, June 26, we received the confirmation we needed. The definitive sign that the collaboration between Kanye West and Dr. Dre was a reality. The Chicago rapper posted a picture on his Twitter account of him apologizing to Dre for getting a few drops of orange juice on his carpet… "while we finished our first project together." In other words: Kanye West was in Dre's studio working under him.

The surprises did not end there. One day later, Snoop Dogg uploaded a video of the meeting between Dre and West. The fact that Snoop was also in the studio would imply that he will also be involved in Kanye's album, God's country.

Kanye West and Travis Scott collaborate on wash us in the blood

The presence of Travis Scott in the first single from Kanye West's new album has not been a minor surprise. The two rappers have been working together since 2012, the year Scott signed to the GOOD MUSIC label (founded by Kanye). In addition, we cannot ignore the Kim Kardashian (Kanye West's wife) factor: in recent weeks it has been rumored that Travis Scott and Kim Kardashian's sister, Kylie Jenner (with whom he has a daughter) could have resumed their relationship. . It would not be nonsense to suggest that this could have facilitated the collaboration between Scott and Kanye (who already worked closely on the album). Yeezus).

En Wash Us In The Blood we find another new musical example of the path that Kanye West has been (in the opinion of many) too many years going through. The theme is more concept art than song. It is more of an idea than something designed to be enjoyed while being listened to. Music as a symbolic vehicle of, on this occasion, a world where events so strange, violent and racist take place that they seem to be taken from a video game. Needless to mention George Floyd or to the Black Lives Matter movement to see clearly that the shots, once again, go that way.
