Fivio Foreign revealed exactly what role Kanye West had in the making of his debut album 'B.I.B.L.E.,' which he claimed was executive produced by the Chicago rap icon.

B.I.B.L.E. arrived last Friday (April 8) complete with A-list appearances from A$AP Rocky, Quavo, Alicia Keys and more. But the most intriguing name on the guest list was Kanye West who not only appears on the single City of Gods, but executive produced the project, as Fivio announced on Twitterlast August. Kanye isnt technically listed as an executive producer in the album credits, a point Angie Martinez mentioned to Fivio during a visit to her Power 105.1 radio show earlier this week. But as the Brooklyn drill star explained, the Chicago rap icon was very much involved in bringing his debut LP together. Hes definitely , he said in the interview. I had the album basically ready, finessed and done. I let him hear it and he was like, I wanna help you. You know, hes a producer, too, so he arranged some drums around, called in for a feature. Hes the reason Alicia Keys is on . Just, like, making it more of a masterpiece. Leveling it up. Him and Mike Dean, too. A post shared by Elliott Wilson (@elliottwilsongoat) Fivio Foreign revealed he immediately said yes when Kanye Westasked to executive produce his album, but he wasnt the only one filled with excited.

I like how it sound! I was like, Yeah, me too!' As for the album title, the 32-year-old clarified B.I.B.L.E. was his idea, not Kanyes, but the name resonated with the Jesus Walks rapper all the same. When I told him that was my album title, he was like, Thats crazy!' he remembered. He just felt like it was meant to be. Destiny. Fivio Foreign who saw his stock rise last year thanks to his show-stealing verse on DONDAs Off the Grid delved deeper into his working relationship with Kanye Westduring an appearance on DJ Akademiks Off the Record podcast in February.
