"'Brothers'" is a song by American rapper Kanye West, featuring vocals from American singer Charlie Wilson. The song was previewed alongside the season 2 premiere of American drama show 'Tales' on July 2, 2019. The song was never officially released due to West's team shifting their focus to working on his ninth studio album 'Jesus Is King'.
Background
7 Aurelius first produced the song while playing his keyboard in 2016 and got Chris Stylez to sing demo vocals over the track.
In November 2017, Irv Gotti hinted on Instagram that he was working on "something enormous" with Kanye West. West altered "Brothers" to create "Violent Crimes", the final track from West's album 'Ye' (2018).
On June 5, 2019, Irv Gotti stated in an interview on 'The Breakfast Club' that the season 2 premiere of his show 'Tales' would "be a two-hour season premiere of a brand new record produced by me and my production partner Seven from a huge, huge, huge artist." Gotti stated the artist was from the Midwest and that he's "the biggest, hugest artist who's been the most controversial in the last year." DJ Envy responded with "Ok, Kanye West is gonna be on the season premiere of 'Tales'", to which Irv Gotti replied "I didn't say it! But let's say it right. He's not acting in it, but maybe I have a song ... Envy is a fucking genius!"
Release and promotion
The song debuted with the season 2 premiere of the show 'Tales' on July 2, 2019. The following day, the demo of the track, featuring vocals from Chris Stylez, was released on Seven's website. West's manager stated that their team didn't want the song to be commercially released as it would affect the promotion for his upcoming album 'Yandhi'.
