“Bully,” the eleventh studio album by Kanye West, now known as Ye, marks a striking return to solo artistry for the controversial rapper and producer. Released on March 18, 2025, and officially uploaded to YouTube on March 21, 2025, this project arrives amid a whirlwind of personal and public turmoil, reflecting both Ye's creative evolution and his unapologetic defiance. The album's title draws inspiration from a personal anecdote involving his son, Saint West, who reportedly kicked another child for being “weak,” a story Ye shared with a mix of amusement and pride in a February 2025 interview with Justin LaBoy. This incident, paired with thematic nods to Larry Clark's 2001 film “Bully”—a tale of teens exacting revenge on an abusive peer—frames the album as a symbolic break from external control, notably Ye's tumultuous history with Adidas, whom he casts as his own metaphorical tormentor.Musically, “Bully” diverges from the collaborative chaos of Ye's recent “Vultures” series with Ty Dolla $ign, embracing a self-produced, introspective soundscape that critics have hailed as his strongest in over a decade. The album blends the soulful patience of his early work, like “The College Dropout,” with the experimental warmth of singles such as “Only One” (2014) and “FourFiveSeconds” (2015). Tracks like “Preacher Man” and “Beauty and the Beast,” previewed in September 2024 at a China listening event, showcase lush samples—from The Supremes' “You Can't Hurry Love” to Cortex's “Huit Octobre 1971”—chopped with a meticulous hand, evoking a nostalgic yet forward-thinking vibe. GQ praised its “rich, warm, even optimistic” tone, a stark contrast to Ye's public persona, suggesting a retreat from the internet's noise into a cloistered creative space.Yet, “Bully” is unmistakably a work in progress. Released initially as a 45-minute short film directed by Ye and edited by Hype Williams, it features Saint battling Japanese wrestlers with a plastic mallet—a surreal visual that mirrors the album's raw, unfinished state. Ye himself admitted on X that it's “not finished and half the vocals AI,” a choice that divides listeners. The AI-generated vocals, often mimicking his “808s & Heartbreak” style, serve as texture rather than substance, occasionally jarring against the otherwise masterful beats. Three versions—“Screening,” “Post Hype,” and “Post Post Hype”—circulated online, with the YouTube release, “BULLY V1,” trimming the tracklist to nine songs, notably dropping “Melrose” featuring Playboi Carti and Ty Dolla $ign amid reported feuds.The album's rollout was overshadowed by Ye's latest social media spiral, rife with antisemitic rants, swastika imagery, and attacks on peers like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Kendrick Lamar. An alternative cover featuring a red swastika underscored his provocative stance, aligning with previews like “World War 3,” where he doubles down on his polarizing views. This chaos contrasts sharply with the music's calm, almost serene quality—tracks that narrate betrayal and resilience with a soothing undercurrent, as one X user noted, calling it “the complete opposite of what its title suggests.”Despite the controversy, “Bully” has garnered acclaim for its production, with some fans and critics dubbing it a return to form, even in its rough state. Its unconventional release—bypassing streaming platforms for X and YouTube—reflects Ye's disdain for industry norms, as he decried “fake streams” and “French and Jewish record labels.” Whether it evolves into a polished final product or remains a snapshot of Ye's turbulent 2025, “Bully” stands as a testament to his enduring genius and unrelenting defiance, a paradox of beauty and unrest at the heart of his legacy.

David Park, founder of Jenny AI, details his step-by-step approach to building a profitable AI startup that reached $10 million in annual recurring revenue. He emphasizes starting with organic short-form content and influencer marketing before moving to SEO and paid advertising. Park attributes much of Jenny AI's success to finding viral content formats that could be repeated with variations, working with the right influencers regardless of follower count, and focusing on retention metrics as the company scaled.Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro03:00 - Organic Short Form Content08:25 - The Power of Fresh Accounts in Influencer Marketing11:17 - Case Study: MengMengDuck and Influencer Partnerships18:01 - New Creator Guidelines25:57 - Order of Virality: Steps to Achieve Success30:55 - Finding Influencers36:21 - Outreach Strategies40:34 - Negotiating with Influencers44:50 - Content posting strategy49:15 - Final UGC Tips 51:52 - SEO Strategy57:00 -  Paid Ads Playbook59:53 - David's final advice:01:02:08 - From $5M to $10M1) ORGANIC SHORT-FORM CONTENT David's shocking truth: Fresh accounts with 1 follower can OUTPERFORM accounts with millions!The algorithm rewards quality, not history.2) The "Fresh Account" Strategy:• Create new accounts specifically for your product• Find creators to be the face of these accounts• Pay them to create consistent content• Focus on hooks that resonate with your audience3) The Viral Series Formula Find ONE format that works, then repeat it with slight variations.Example: "POV: You have an essay due" videos for Jenny AI generated 300M+ views and $500K+ in revenue!4) INFLUENCER MARKETING Don't waste time with mega-influencers charging $20K per post.Instead:• Find creators whose audience matches your users• Create a new account with them as the face• Pay for consistent content (not one-offs)• Let them maintain their authentic style5) How to find the RIGHT influencers:• Ask your users which creators they follow• Create a "scout" account that only follows relevant creators• Let the algorithm suggest similar accounts• Look for creators with high engagement (not just followers)6) Outreach hack that WORKS:Send money via Venmo to influencers you want to work with!They'll get a push notification and respond out of curiosity.7) Negotiation strategy:• Start by asking for their HIGHEST price point (all features)• Remove elements you don't need to lower the price• Negotiate bulk deals (20% off for multiple videos)• Split payment between upfront and performance-basedNEVER pay based on follower count - that's outdated!8) Content posting strategy:• Post 1+ videos DAILY to test different hooks• Trust creators to maintain their authentic style• Create systems that let influencers work autonomously• Don't be afraid of videos looking like ads - they convert BETTERScale to a video every few hours!9) David's final advice:"I'm a non-technical founder, a college dropout, not from Silicon Valley. If I can build this, YOU CAN TOO." - David Park"The truth? Only 1% of people reading this will implement these strategies for a full year." - David ParkNotable Quotes"We had one video that got 20 million views that had almost a negligible effect on conversions that day for Jenny. It was as if we got zero views, like nothing really happened that day. And yeah, it's just important to create content for people that actually want to convert and want to actually use your product." - David Park"I'm a non-technical person. I'm a non-technical founder doing an AI startup. I am a college dropout. I would not say I'm like one of those cracked people. I'm not from Silicon Valley... and I was able to kind of build this company." - David ParkWant more free ideas? I collect the best ideas from the pod and give them to you for free in a database.

I have the utmost gratitude for Bill Brownlee gracing me with an appearance for Episode No. 136.Bill is so many things, and I confidently say that barely knowing him.What he is above all -- at least at this moment -- is generous for taking time out of his life to come sit with a perfect stranger, and I couldn't be happier about the conversation that resulted from his decision to do so.Bill and I talked about his careers in the record-label industry and as a writer for The Kansas City Star. We discussed his fine, fine work over at Plastic Sax as well as There Stands the Glass, both of which I encourage you to make regular visits to, as the writings are keen and important to the Kansas City music scene. We also talked about a few of Bill's favorite records, which were these:Stevie Wonder's Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974)Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978), Bruce SpringsteenAlison Krauss' Now That I've Found You: A Collection (1995)The College Dropout (2004), Kanye WestMoor Mother's Jazz Codes (2022)Bill's a great Instagram follow if your feed's missing a little something, but beyond you checking out his written work on the aforementioned Web sites, I'm excited for folks to dig in to this conversation.
