The almost 3-minute video features a collage of photos from Ye&#8217;s childhood, as well as graduation portraits and images from intimate family gatherings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Like everything the star does, there was a hidden &#8220;drop&#8221; within the video release. The 44-year-old rapper&#8217;s fans on social media were quick to note that the outfits worn by West in the photos within in the music video seemed to be edited with different clothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A press release from the brand confirmed that the apparel seen in the video are pieces from the upcoming Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga drop. The release notes that the video serves as a &#8220;seamless alignment&#8221; between the artist&#8217;s creative outlets of fashion and music. Clever thinking, Ye!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kanye West - Life Of The Party\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/401hZy6Hipw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The promotion doesn&#8217;t stop there. When you&#8217;re as famous as West, the best way to show off a highly-anticipated collection is usually by wearing the items yourself, which he&#8217;s done, according to the brand&#8217;s Instagram.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CdTDlOhOruf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
