In May 2026, a user on the r/Yedits subreddit shared their version of Kanye West's song "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST." The track was initially released as part of a three-song AI-vocal EP in June 2025 before receiving proper vocal treatment in March 2026.
What happened
The creator, part of a collective called "The No BS Collective," aimed to finalize a version that aligned with the raw, dark aesthetic of the BULLY V1 era. The primary modification involved removing deepfake vocals present in early leaks and replacing them with Kanye West's real studio vocals, while retaining original reference tracks from other artists. They also incorporated original instrumentals and samples and slightly extended intros to enhance the song's flow.
