T.I. Makes Surprising Claim About Kanye West Collab “Ye vs. The People”

Back in 2018, Kanye West began touting his love for Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again slogan. For many fans, this was a low point in West’s career and it will continue to be for as long as he lives. As of right now, West’s love for Trump seems as prominent as ever considering his campaign to become the next President of the United States.

During that run in 2018, Kanye released a song with T.I. called “Ye vs. The People.” In this song, T.I. was considered as the “people” who wanted to challenge Ye on his beliefs. As of right now, T.I. is promoting the release of his new project L.I.B.R.A. which has come with a whole slew of interviews, including a long feature from Vulture’s Craig Jenkins. In this piece, T.I. spoke on his Kanye West collab and how it has aged over the past couple of years.

“That track was a breath of fresh air musically, and I think that with all of the conspiracies, assumptions, and speculation that surround him and me, I don’t think nobody else could have had that conversation with him as eloquently as that record came out,” T.I. said. “I feel like it was just a perfect record, that only he and I could have done.”

At the time, the track received a wave of criticism as some felt it was enabling Kanye and his rhetoric. Some fans, on the other hand, felt the track was necessary for allowing West to clear the air. No matter what you believe, it’s clear that the track is still as relevant as ever.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
