"OK" is a song by American rapper Kanye West featuring American rapper and singer Don Toliver from the deluxe edition of the former's twelfth studio album, Bully (2026). It was released on June 19, 2026, through YZY and Gamma, as one of two songs added to the original album. The track, initially previewed in April, was performed live following its release. The song was later accompanied by a music video directed by Bianca Censori.
Background
[edit]"OK" was first previewed at an after-party of West's second of two shows at SoFi Stadium in April 2026. The preview came along with confirmation of the deluxe edition of Bully via an Instagram post from Gamma.[1]
Release and promotion
[edit]The track was released on June 19, 2026, as part of the deluxe edition of Bully as one of two new songs added to the album.[2] Following the track's release, Don Toliver teased visuals for the song on his social media.[3] Toliver also performed it live at his Octane Tour. According to Billboard, "Toliver had been working it into his tour’s setlist as well."[4]
Composition and lyrics
[edit]According to HotNewHipHop, the song features "ethereal production"[1] incorporating West's recognizable sampling alongside Toliver's "penchant for melody and entrancing flows." Bass licks, chimes, synths, and drum kicks create an earthy sound for the track.[5] West's flows on the song were noted to be similar to his feature on "Put On" by Jeezy.[1][6] The hook, described as "choppy" and "stuttery," repeats over a minimalist, melodic instrumental, building to distorted 808 kicks that transition into a beat drop.[7]
Music video
[edit]On August 17, 2026, the music video for "OK" was released on Instagram. Directed by West's wife, Bianca Censori, it marks her fourth directorial release alongside "Father," "Gemini Season," and "King".[8] An absurdist video, it takes place in an operating room with doctors treating a decapitated West. As Toliver's verse begins, he appears from a locker, reattaching West's body and bringing him back to life. West then sharpens a sword, as Toliver's shadow is seen amid a battle off to the side. The video closes with the rappers staring at the camera.[8][9]
