For those who don't know, Yandhi was originally scheduled to release in 2019. Ye said in an interview that it didn't release because "he didn't finish it", when in reality we had the album ready to go at a moments notice. He had just gotten back from Uganda and almost got shot/kidnapped by a militia, and had his private security essentially face off with these Ugandan militia dudes in the middle of the jungle. Shit fucked him up and when he came back, he said he didn't want to release it anymore and wanted to focus on his religion and spread "the word of god" with his music. The album was already slightly headed in that direction towards the end, but I was still pretty pissed off. He worked us hard as fuck just to suddenly say "forget it", which is why so many (VERY) early copies of songs got leaked so quickly.
Anyway, comparing the leaks to this copy, the tracks are almost all completely different save for a few, and I think two unleaked songs, and a miniscule portion of 2 songs are mumble because he said he would just update it after it was available to the public.
I highly recommend listening to this with proper equipment, because these are all the uncompressed master files.
And sorry, but i have no idea what the PW is. This was years ago, I've been trying to guess for the last half hour, i know it started with "RELEASE_" but that's all I remember. Something like RELEASE_COPY, RELEASE_FINAL, RELEASE_ME, RELEASE_THIS, RELEASE_STREAMING, it was something pretty simple so I don't think it'll go uncracked for long.
Also, pic related is what the actual album art was going to be. It was never going to be that mini disk image, pretty sure kanye just got that off Reddit and liked it, lol.
Enjoy!
