In a series of tweets, Kanye West has declared that he will no longer release his albums on CD. His latest album, The Life of Pablo, is currently available exclusively on the streaming service TIDAL (which Kanye co-owns), with no announced plans for release on any other streaming or download service, let alone on CD. In one tweet, Kanye referenced the cover of his album Yeezus, which barely had a cover at all.
