TRACKLIST (with Descriptions and Features):

1. Way Of The Samurai (1:54) - AKA I FEEL TERRIFIC, Chosen because it sounds like an intro to an action movie of an insane person and also sounds like a samurai video montage on top of a raining mountain.

2. The Jungle (feat. Riles) (4:33) - AKA RILES SNIPPET, One of the snippets that were first thought of to be a part of the yesuke album theory since it sounded very japanese and like a samurai lost in the jungle, added in the jungle riles acoustic for intro. used the gorgeous freestyle cuz it was the same bpm as the beat and sounded great on this.

3. Wake The Dead (2:15) - Sounds like an after battle song and jungle transitioned well to this and japanese people are very spiritual so the dead kinda made sense as a theme??? also sounds like an action movie song.

4. Money On The Floor (feat. Ty Dolla $ign & YG) (3:36) - self-explanatory the song legit sounds like a samurai/japanese trap banger, had to include it, it also revived the yesuke fan made hype for a samurai themed album haha. weird seeing ty as a feature hahaha.

5. What Has America Done For Me (2:21) - since this is japanese themed it made sense to call out the us??? haha it also sounds very japanese with the beat, sounds like a samurai training montage song.

6. NASDAQ (2:26) - Another song that was theorized to be on yesuke when the rumors were going around, it transitioned well from the previous track and its very action packed and chaotic, another action movie song type beat.

7. Shinzo Abe (feat. DaBaby & 2Chainz) (4:35) - AKA Nah Nah Nah REMIX, when i first heard this song i actually loved it i dont get the hype, sounds super japanese with the insturmentals haha. The name was because this song was about kanye's presidential candidacy music, japan's last president was shinzo abe.

8. Never Forgive Yourself (2:55) - transitioned well from the previous song, sounds like a battle song and fits the vibe i was going for.

9. Mr. Miyagi (feat. Future & Playboi Carti) (2:58) - Karate Kid's Sensei sounds like another japanese themed trap banger.

10. Inazuma (2:03) - AKA Thunder, Sounds like a nintendo game soundtrack. renamed cuz thunder means inazuma in japanese, thats all it sounded cooler ig.

11. Tamashi Interlude (2:40) - AKA Cuban Links & Intimacy, just a soulful citypop vibey mashup of ye's freestyles as an interlude towards the end of the album, more chill since the other songs were kinda heavy and loud. Tamashi means Soul so its supposed to be Soulful Interlude.

12. Yakuza Playa (4:29) - AKA THE MIND IS POWERFUL, the vibes are a 80-90's action-comedy yakuza stereotypical gangster spending his time in a casino building doing yakuza shenanigans. kawasaki mentioned so thats the japanese tie hahahaha.

13. Karate Kid (5:07) - added cuz of the namesake and also cuz it sounds like a nice outro track. Started the album with ye shouting and he's shouting again for the outro. Outro = making out of the maze. also vibes are similar with the other songs.

14. Tokyo Night Ride (2:42) - AKA HYBRID, my favorite song from this, legit a synthwave night drive vibey ass song, super underrated. Perfect for a nissan skyline drive along the streets of japan.
