In the midst of ongoing family controversy, American rapper King Combs released a collaborative project with Kanye West on 27 June 2025. The extended play (EP), titled Never Stop, was released via Goodfellas Entertainment, with Kanye West serving as executive producer.

The EP features seven tracks and includes guest appearances from North West, JAAS, and Kanye West himself. With a total runtime of just over 16 minutes, it’s a concise offering that leans heavily into nostalgic production one that longtime fans of Kanye’s earlier work will appreciate. Sonically, it evokes the signature soul-sample brilliance that defined West’s golden era, reminding listeners of the raw talent he possessed before becoming the global icon he is today.

True to form, Never Stop is rich with samples something Kanye has long been celebrated for. The standout track, “People Like Me,” not only boasts a verse from West but also contains what could easily be considered one of the strongest verses of the year. Track two, titled “Kim,” is a heartfelt tribute to Combs’ late mother, Kim Porter. It's an introspective and emotionally layered song that arguably deserved a longer runtime and stands as a highlight of the project.

Track five, “Repeat Me,” features a punchy bassline and includes a sample from Karri, grounding it in the current sonic landscape of hip hop while still maintaining the EP's retro flair.
 

In closing, Never Stop isn’t just a bold move in the face of public scrutiny it’s a declaration. King Combs proves he's more than just a product of legacy. With Kanye West’s golden-era production and a carefully curated roster of features, the EP hints at depth, growth, and potential for an artist determined to carve out his own path.
