"Bobby Digital" (also known as "Close It All Down") is an unreleased song by Kanye West, James Blake and No I.D. that was initially created in 2022 during the sessions in which a collaborative project between the three had been worked on.
The song is for the most part unheard, with only a 28-second low quality snippet of the mumble demo of the song being available.[1]
Background[]
The song was initially created in 2022 for the James Blake and No I.D. collaboration album, WAR. The song features vocals from James Blake and production from him and No I.D., but was not finished up until the album was cancelled following Kanye's antisemitic rants.[2]
The song was brought back in 2023 during the Japan sessions for YEBU. The song was seen on an early track list off of Digital Nas' private Instagram, it's unknown how much the song had been reworked at that point.[3] Luit confirmed that the song was made for Ye's solo album, not his collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign.[4] Despite this, trusted source Rodri confirmed Ty Dolla $ign did in fact still record for the song, presumably during the Bad Bitch Play Book era.
According to JoyBoy, several songs from WAR were brought back for VULTURES 2. Given "Bobby Digital" had already been brought back for B.B.P.B., it is highly likely it is apart of the several songs that were brought back. It's unknown when they were brought back, however, but is presumed to be post-rework due to JoyBoy saying it in present tense. According to James Blake, he and Ye have not talked in a long while.
