Kanye West and Weezer mashup album 'Yeezer' is surprisingly brilliant

The album includes the songs 'Back to Nothing', 'The Girl Got BLKKK' and 'Perfect Homecoming'

Ever thought “Wow, Weezer’s "Say It Ain’t So" and Kanye West’s "Power" would really work well together”? Probably not, but luckily a 19-year-old university student from Ohio did.

In one of the greatest mash-up albums to ever hit the internet, Alex Hodowance fused the rock of Weezer and the vocals of Kanye West to create ‘Yeezer’.

Highlights include opening track “Through the Hills” - the combination of West’s "Through the Wire" and the 2005 hit “Beverly Hills” - and “American Island” - a mix of the Estelle featuring “America Boy” and “Island in the Sun”. Listen to the 10 track album below.

A friend had initially blurted out the name Yeezer as a joke but soon things got serious. Talking to Radio.com, Hodowance said: “The first song I started working on was the first song on the album [Through the Hills].

“It was really just a matter of finding songs that had similar feels and tempos from that point on. Once that first song clicked, I thought, you might as well just go for nine more, right?”

The album was uploaded to Bandcamp on 6 October to Bandcamp and quickly gained attention through Reddit.

It’s currently available for free, and Hodowance hopes it stays this way, calling himself “just a disciple” to West and Weezer.
