North and Chicago West are the bomb in their dad Kanye West’s new music video.
West, 47, enlisted his daughters — whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Kardashian — to star in a postapocalyptic Mad Max-esque music video for their collaboration, “Bomb,” which features both North, 11, and Chicago, 6, and is lifted from the rapper’s Vultures 2 album with Ty Dolla $ign.
In the video, released via YouTube on Wednesday, November 27, North and Chicago can be seen driving through a desert terrain while fending off creatures on motorcycles chasing them. North is seen sporting a fur hat while Chicago looks adorable with her hair styled into double buns.
North and Chicago can also be heard on the track. North raps a verse in Japanese and Chicago appears to ad-lib some lines near the end of the song.
“Bomb,” which also features rapper Yuno Miles, was first released in August on the Vultures 2 album, West’s second record of the year with Ty Dolla $ign, though it was thwarted from the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart by Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department.
The track marks North’s latest collaboration with her dad as she pursues her own music career. North also featured on Vultures 1, which West and Ty Dolla $ign released in February. West featured North on “Talking / Once Again,” a two-part song that reached No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, making North one of the youngest artists to have a Top 40 hit.
“I’ve been working on an album,” North told the crowd at the Vultures 1 listening party in Phoenix in March, according to Billboard. “And it’s called Elementary School Dropout.”
The title of North’s upcoming album is a subtle nod to West’s 2004 debut album, The College Dropout.
In October 2023, North spoke about what she wanted to do with her life, telling i-D Magazine she wanted to be “a basketball player” and “a rapper.”
“Well, when I was 7, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side,” she said. “When I’m, like, 13, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive. So, a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell.”
