DJ Akademiks shared some major news during his recent livestream, including Kanye West‘s latest album name, “WW3.” The podcaster shared the “good news” with viewers and gave West a shout-out before making the announcement. “Breaking news – If you guys don’t know, I’ll be the first to report being the number one journalist, kingpin at the game,” Akademiks claimed before revealing that the rapper’s new album will drop in the morning. He then clarified, “Well, not in the morning, but sometime tomorrow.”
DJ Akademiks, who also goes by the stage name Lil AK, tweeted the breaking news on X (formerly Twitter) during his livestream. “Shout-out to Ye – he gave me the exclusive on this one,” he noted and announced that the album was titled “World War Three.” In addition, it features 11 tracks and Dave Blunt. The media personality “immediately” dropped the list of song names — some quite shocking — in an X post. He later displayed the tweet during the live session as he read the text out loud. “This is the track list right here!” he remarked.
Kanye West and DJ Akademiks had previously discussed the new album “WW3,” but the list of song names is the latest scoop. Earlier this week, the rapper appeared for an interview with DJ Akademiks when he shared the title track’s controversial video, as per Complex. West had also clarified that the song was not a part of any new version of his recent album “Bully,” which he released last month via a film starring his son, Saint West.
X users quickly reacted to the 47-year-old musician’s new record, with one individual calling the song names “INSANE” in their post. Others seemingly speculated the meaning behind the other track names, while some expressed their excitement for the new drop.
