Kanye West - The Life of Pablo - 2016 (Updated 19 Track Version) iTunes ALAC AAC M4A

The Life of Pablo is the seventh studio album by American rapper Kanye West. It was initially released on February 14, 2016, by GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings. The album features a wide array of guest vocalists; including Chance the Rapper, Frank Ocean, The-Dream, Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, Rihanna, The Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign, Chris Brown, Young Thug, while its production enlists a variety of contributors led by West; including Mike Dean, Rick Rubin, Metro Boomin, Southside, Hudson Mohawke, Madlib, and Swizz Beatz, among others. Recording sessions for the album took place in various locations; including various cities in Italy, Mexico, Canada, and the United States.

The album was supported by a series of promotional singles released in conjunction with West's GOOD Fridays giveaways, and was launched exclusively through the streaming service Tidal after a lengthy series of delays in its recording and finalization, including multiple changes to its track sequencing and title in the previous weeks. Even following the album's release on Tidal, West clarified that he was still working on final mixes of several of the album's tracks and depicted the work as a "a living breathing changing creative expression."

Upon its release, The Life of Pablo received generally positive reviews from music critics, with particular attention drawn to its kaleidoscopic musical range and unfinished aesthetic. As Tidal refused to disclose streaming data to Nielsen Music, the album did not chart on the US Billboard 200, making the album the first release by Kanye West not to feature on the chart.
