Dave Blunts Leaves Kanye, Pursues Solo Career

0:00On March 24, Dave Bluntz has parted ways with Kanye West after their joint music projects turned too dark and controversial for him to continue. The producer, who co-wrote some of Kanye's most backlash heavy tracks, said the content pushed boundaries in ways that took a heavy mental and emotional toll. Things started intense from the beginning, but grew even darker over time, with songs touching on racist, anti-Semitic, and homophobic themes that drew. Bluntz reached a breaking point where he could no longer make excuses for staying involved. In a text exchange shared online, he directly told Kanye they were done and urged him to find some spiritual guidance. Despite the split, Bluntz holds no grudges and wants to step out from under Kanye's influence to build his own path. He pointed out his success before linking up with Kanye, like buying his mom a car, supporting his family, and landing a record deal. Bluntz also took a jab at Digital Nas, another Kanye associate, calling out dependency on one person's fame.

1:01Now he's channeling energy into his solo career, and a new album called I Believe It when I See It. Teaming up with Belgian producer Victor Four, music that truly reflects his vision.
