In what appears to be yet another case of premature exposure of unreleased music, Kanye West’s rumored upcoming album titled WW3 has reportedly leaked on Discord. Fans of the Grammy-winning rapper and producer were sent into a frenzy after a slew of tracks—allegedly from the new project—surfaced online over the weekend, offering a potential glimpse into Ye’s next creative chapter.
The leak, which quickly spread across fan forums and social media platforms, includes over 10 songs with titles such as “Slide,” “Field Trip,” “Rejoice,” “Mama’s Mission,” and “Attitude.” While Kanye’s team has yet to confirm or deny the legitimacy of the tracks, the polished quality of the recordings has led many to believe that they could indeed be from a studio project in progress or a scrapped version of a forthcoming release.
Some of the leaked tracks reportedly feature collaborations with regular Kanye collaborators, although the details remain murky due to the unofficial nature of the drop. According to fans who claim to have listened to the tracks, the music continues Kanye’s trend of genre-blending — fusing gospel, experimental electronic beats, and raw lyricism that touches on politics, personal turmoil, and fame.
The album title “WW3” (World War 3) also ignited debate online. Many speculated that the title may refer to a metaphorical conflict—personal, cultural, or spiritual—rather than a literal geopolitical reference. Given Kanye’s recent controversial moments and unpredictable public statements, fans are unsure if the project will ever receive an official release.
This isn’t the first time Kanye West’s unreleased music has been leaked. In 2022 and 2023, tracks from the shelved Donda 2 project and the “Yandhi” sessions also surfaced online via forums and Discord groups, sometimes prompting legal action or takedown notices. As of now, Kanye or his label have not made an official comment on the WW3 leaks.
Whether “WW3” is a legitimate new album or an amalgamation of unreleased cuts from past sessions remains to be seen. However, if the buzz and anticipation surrounding the leaks are anything to go by, Kanye’s influence on pop culture—and the chaos that follows—is far from over.
