North West, the eldest child between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, continues to be heavily involved in her dad’s work. The 10-year-old phenom has been helping out with the VULTURES trilogy in many ways. She has performed onstage at various shows and listening experiences. Additionally, her singing skills were on full display on the first entry’s second single “TALKING.” All of this has inspired her to forge her own path, as she recently announced that she is in the process of making her first album. North West is now showing interest in directing, as a surprise second music video for “TALKING” is out now.
If you remember, right before VULTURES 1 hit streaming, Kanye dropped the track and its visuals on his social media accounts. In it, North was seen talking into her dad’s ear, and Ty Dolla $ign united with his only daughter, Jailynn. That video was directed by the D’Innocenzo brothers, with cinematography being handled by Matteo Cocco. However, this new video for “TALKING” sees North West take up the reins.

In fact, she is credited with writing responsibilities too. Co-directing this effort is Aus Taylor, with post-production duties in the hands of Medet. Finally, the shots were taken by Karim Belkasemi. This video is quite different from the original. Kanye is shown a little less in this version, with North and her friends talking up more of the runtime. There is a cute moment where her and her proud dad are boxing with each other. Ty Dolla $ign does pop up in the second half but he is by himself this time. Overall, it is artfully done, and North is showing that she is a sure-fire multi-hyphenate.

Ye wants the world to stop calling him Kanye West. In a statement released by his chief of staff, Milo Yiannopolous, Ye expresses his desire that everyone, from websites to streamers, stop using his former name.
The notice reads: “Ye is one of the most recognizeable people in the world, on par with presidents and popes. He didn’t take the decision to change his name, potentially sacrificing some of the immense value by the brand ‘Kanye West,’ lightly. The change was made fully, legally, and permanently. This is who he is now. His name is Ye.”

Last week, Ye had a lot to say during his interview with Big Boy. One of the most personal was his revelation that he believes his mom speaks to him via his daughter, North West.

North West is diving deeper into her music career. Appearing with Ye at the Vultures 2 experience in Phoenix, North revealed she has been working on her album, Elementary School Dropout.
“I’ve been working on an album and it is called Elementary School Dropout,” she said on stage.
Bianca Censori surprised folks with a particular expectation of her fashion style for a Saturday night (March 23) dinner with her husband Ye and his daughter North West. Moreover, she hit up Nobu with them in Los Angeles with a huge fur coat, black leggings, and small black heels. Of course, a lot of folks are commenting on how the Yeezy architect usually wears much more revealing clothing, but thought that maybe North’s presence prompted a more conservative look. But this is all very speculative at the end of the day, and we doubt that anyone is able to make a conversation around a fit quite like her these days.
Furthermore, Bianca Censori also forms part of Ye’s current rollouts and career moves, as well as surprising reflections on previous moments of his path. For example, he recently posted her spread across his massive bed, which fans theorized is probably the same bed that he used for the “Famous” music video. In it, the Chicago artist featured wax figures of various celebrities, insinuating that he slept with all of them. It was a bizarrely reflective moment that kind of welcomed Bianca into that echelon, in a way.
However, this probably doesn’t help the narrative that Bianca Censori’s family is not happy at all with how Ye has allegedly changed her. Not only does this relate to her fashion choices, which he reportedly is heavily involved in styling, but also the fact that she doesn’t really speak out that much in the public. A lot of ink’s been spilled about this dynamic in particular and the Censori family’s aversion to the VULTURES 1 creative. The last report we got on that end is that Bianca is “hesitant” for her husband to meet with her father about her public image.
Meanwhile, with a brand-new Porsche from the 46-year-old in her garage, it seems like the couple is in a pretty good mood these days. They still have to handle a lot of fallout from his public controversies, but they seem more comfortable in this space than ever. We just hope that their relationship leans more wholesome than wild in the near future. On that note, check out the pics from this dinner date night with the “Via” link below. Also, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Ye and Bianca Censori.
Last week, Nicki Minaj revealed her new line of press-ons. They’re called “Pink Friday Nails” and packages containing the product have been shipped out to various celebs and influencers so they can try them out. That was the case with Kim Kardashian who got her own package seemingly full of various styles of the press-on nails. But as she explained in a video she shared to social media, before she even got the chance to open the package somebody else got their hands on it.
It’s no secret that North West is a pretty big Barb. She shared a video of herself dancing and singing along to songs from Pink Friday 2 right after the album came out. So it’s not all that surprising that she was interested in the Pink Friday Nails. As Kim explains in the video, Miss Westie got her hands on the press-ons and decided to try them out before Kim could even get home. Check out the adorable video she shared below.
Earlier this year, North West made her debut as a rapper. She appears on a song from her father, Kanye West’s new album VULTURES 1. Fans loved her verse so much that demand started to mount for more material from North. Last week she revealed she was working on her debut album. She also revealed that the name of the project will be Elementary School Dropout. Apparently Kanye is pretty excited about and prospect as friends describe him as going “all in” on the album.
Recently West had one of her first ever interviews. Unsurprisingly, she discussed her upcoming debut album in the adorable video. West is quickly becoming yet another young superstar within the Kardashian family world. What do you think of North West stealing Kim Kardashian’s package of Pink Friday Nails before she could even get home and use them herself? Are you looking forward to West’s debut album? Let us know in the comment section below.

North West is diving deeper into her music career. Appearing with Ye at the Vultures 2 experience in Phoenix, North revealed she has been working on her album, Elementary School Dropout.
“I’ve been working on an album and it is called Elementary School Dropout,” she said on stage.
North West spoke with Jazzys World TV at Rolling Loud, last week, when her father and Ty Dolla Sign performed at the event. In doing so she discussed her upcoming debut studio album, Elementary School Dropout. She previously announced the project during a Vultures listening party in Phoenix, earlier this month.
“It’s gonna be great,” North said. As for when fans can expect the new album, she answered: “Like… I don’t know.” She also didn’t provide any details on whether she’ll have any collaborations on the tracklist. “Maybe! We don’t know yet!” she said. Fans loved the interview when Jazzy shared it on Instagram. “I think you made history being the first reporter to interview North! Go Jazzy,” one wrote. Another added: “Jazzy really born for this… North West wasn’t ready for all these questions but Jazzy switch up quick and made her more comfortable.”
North West Speaks At “Yeezy Season 8” Fashion Show
At the Vultures listening party, North shared: “I’ve been working on an album. And it’s called Elementary School Dropout.” The title is a clear reference to her father’s 2004 studio album, College Dropout. Speaking of her father, Kanye’s Rolling Loud set proved incredibly controversial, as he simply stood on stage while pre-recorded music played from the speakers. Speaking with Big Boy for an interview published the next morning, he defended himself by saying: “People just came for the experience.”
Amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Rolling Loud California, North West, daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, stole the spotlight with her debut festival performance. The young talent showcased her budding musical prowess to an enthralled audience, marking a memorable milestone in her burgeoning career.
Following her set, North West sat down for an interview with 13-year-old Jazzy’s World, streamed live from Rolling Loud. Excitement buzzed as she teased details about her upcoming album, Elementary School Dropout, promising fans an unforgettable musical journey. “It’s gonna be great!” North exclaimed, igniting anticipation among her growing fan base.
Meanwhile, proud mom Kim Kardashian was spotted sidestage, enthusiastically cheering on her daughter. The heartwarming support display underscored the tight-knit bond between the mother-daughter duo and fueled excitement for North West’s promising future in the music industry.
Justin Laboy is delivering additional details on North West’s album.
TMZ caught up with Laboy at LAX and asked about Elementary School Dropout. His response was that Kanye West is leading the way in production, and it will be kid-friendly.
“She already got a hit,” Laboy said. “I know she going to be on ‘Vultures 2′ again’ and that album will be a classic.”
He added, “Everybody is excited, all chips in on her: production, the best engineers. I think she got it and she naturally loves it.”
Laboy added that North West does ten songs a day and has her friends on singles. You can hear more from Laboy below.
Kanye West and his mother Donda were extremely close. Overall, Donda was a huge influence on Kanye and his rise to fame. He used to mention her all the time in interviews, and she was a large part of the Jeen-Yuhs documentary. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2007, and it was a devastating time in Ye’s life. To this day, he is still feeling the effects of her passing. However, he has been able to honor her in many ways. For instance, he named his album Donda after her, and he has also created institutions in her name.
When someone is such a massive part of your life, sometimes, you will see that person manifest in others. As Ye was telling Big Boy in his most recent interview, he sees a lot of his mom in North West. In the clip below, he says “Sometimes i feel like my mom speaks through her.” Ye made this revelation when he was showing North his song “Back To Me.” North told Ye that the song was a “banger” and that at the end of the day, he needs to say how he feels. In Ye’s mind, that is the exact same advice that his mom would have given him.
North West has taken a huge interest in music. So much so, she is going to be dropping her own album. Kanye is going to have a massive part in the production of this album, and there is no doubt that fans are very excited about this. Whether or not the album actually does come out, is another story. Only time will tell whether or not she is just like her father, who likes to delay his albums for weeks and even months on end.
Let us know what you think of Ye’s comments, down below. What do you think of North’s upcoming music career? Are you excited for her new album? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
North West recently announced to the world that she is working on her debut album Elementary School Dropout during Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures listening experience in Phoenix, Arizona. The 10-year-old daughter of one of rap’s most controversial geniuses made her vocal performance debut on Vultures 1, in the form of a brief inclusion on the track “Talking.” North’s performance on the track sparked questions from fans around the globe, who wondered if this feature was the start of a prolific solo career or simply a happy accident resulting from spending some quality time in the studio with her super-star dad.
Now that North West has confirmed her intention to release a full-length debut album, fans’ minds are awash with possibility. The project will no doubt feature guest appearances and production work from some of Kanye’s close collaborators, setting Elementary School Dropout up for major success from the get-go. Here are 5 things fans would love to see from North West’s first LP.
Despite his many controversies, it cannot be denied that Kanye West has changed the face of music several times over as he recently acknowledged in his Big Boy interview. His moody emotional rumination on 808s & Heartbreak inspired a generation of hip-hop artists, while his brash experimental instrumentation choices on Yeezus brought industrial hip-hop to the forefront of the genre. Of course, before he came to be the groundbreaking artist we all know today, Kanye launched The College Dropout, notable for its high-pitched soul samples.
North West’s debut album surely won’t be a track-for-track remake of Kanye’s debut, but the project would certainly benefit from a few throwback instrumental references with vocal chops from the likes of Nina Simone, Michael Jackson, and others. The choice to include early Kanye-influence on the project would definitely bring the rapper’s legacy full circle, allowing him to pass the torch to his eldest child.
North’s Kanye-Like Attitude
Before North West was making music, the public knew her primarily from her brief but notable appearances on programs like Keeping Up With The Kardashians. On the show, it rapidly became clear to fans that North presents the same “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” attitude as her father. Now, North has an opportunity to showcase her vibrant personality on a record, offering listeners a chance to hear from the 10-year-old recording artist in her own words. Her sole vocal performance on “Talking” already brings a great deal of personality to the table, so a full album of North talking her jazz will surely leave fans enthused.
As soon as North West’s debut album was announced, fans across the internet joked that North and Drake’s son Adonis should continue their respective fathers’ feud. However, Elementary School Dropout could serve as a perfect opportunity to get North and Adonis in the studio together, to mend generational fences between their rap-star dads, and put the past behind them. After all, what other kids North’s age could understand the process of recording a real studio album besides Adonis, who recently made his musical debut with the track “My Man Freestyle.” A North West and Adonis team-up could serve as an Avengers-level crossover, with additional appearances reserved for the children of other Kanye collaborators, just for good measure.

Obviously, things between Kim and Kanye have not been ideal for the past several years, as the months following the pair’s separation and subsequent divorce were mired with Kanye taking his personal battles to social media. While it remains unclear where the relationship between Kim and Kanye stands today, it would surely please listeners to know that North West’s music has Kim Kardashian’s full blessing. Kim has not yet commented on the album announcement publicly, leaving fans to wonder if she was even consulted about the process beforehand.
The health, well-being, and whereabouts of their four shared children have served as a major sticking point in the Kim and Kanye saga. A brief interlude or spoken word intro from Kim on the album would assure fans that the project is truly a family affair, regardless of what goes on between the divorced couple personally.
It should come as no surprise that fans are already expecting to see Kanye West credited up and down North West’s debut album. For starters, the album title and rollout already serve as North’s tribute to her father’s artistry. Secondly, North’s incredibly young age means she’ll likely require a lot of guidance in the booth, and what better teacher than the man who changed the face of music multiple times in his storied decades-long career? Undoubtedly, Kanye will grant North access to numerous popular producers, rappers, and audio engineers to ensure her album becomes a major success. Still, fans far and wide would eagerly anticipate witnessing the father and daughter duo collaborating on multiple tracks.
It seems kids of famous artists are taking up after their parents and looking to pursue music in one way or another more often. Drake’s son Adonis is one of the biggest examples, dropping his adorable freestyle “My Man.” Of course, we cannot forget North West, who had a major contribution to Kanye West’s album VULTURES 1 with “TALKING.” Her memorable performance made the track one of the best on the record. While she still has a lot of growing to do, it is clear she has some real talent. That is what Kanye’s friend, Justin Laboy, believes as well as he hyped up North West’s debut album.
Of course, Ye’s oldest child made the major announcement during the listening event in Phoenix a couple of days ago. It sent the internet into a frenzy, especially after she said the name of it will be Elementary School Dropout, evoking her father’s debut. Like her dad, she has developed a serious fascination with music. “She just naturally loves it,” said Laboy, who was interviewed by TMZ, according to AllHipHop.
In his chat with the media powerhouse, Laboy revealed that Kanye is really doing all that he can to ensure this project sounds great. “Everybody’s excited. Ye’s putting everything, all chips in on her – production, the best engineers. I think she’s got it.” Additionally, he let slip about who would be on North West’s tape. According to him, some of her friends have already recorded their vocals and North is coming up with at least 10 freestyles a day.
What are your thoughts on Kanye West’s friend saying North West’s debut album is getting the best producers and engineers? Are you buying into the hype for Elementary School Dropout, why or why not? Do you think “TALKING” is the best song from VULTURES 1? Will you check out the record when it drops? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
