North West, the 10-year-old progeny of cultural icons Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, is set to make her mark in the music industry with her upcoming debut album, Elementary School Dropout.
The news of this ambitious project was shared by North herself during the 2024 Rolling Loud festival in Inglewood, California, sparking excitement and anticipation among fans and followers.
In a conversation with 13-year-old reporter Jazyln from Jazzy's World TV, North confidently expressed: "It's going to be great," leaving much to the imagination about the album's contents and potential collaborations, including the possibility of featuring her father, the Heartless rapper.
When pressed for more details, North intriguingly responded, "Maybe! We don’t know yet," keeping the audience guessing about what the album will ultimately entail.
The timeline for the album's release remains under wraps as North navigates the creative and production processes.

North's foray into music was first witnessed during a performance in Miami, where she introduced herself as Miss Westie, showcasing her vocal talents. Since then, she has accompanied Kanye globally, further honing her skills and preparing for her solo debut.
The title Elementary School Dropout cleverly references Kanye's debut, which achieved four-time platinum status and secured a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, setting a high bar for North's inaugural venture into music.
