Last night, YesJulz and XXXTentacion's family organized the special album release party for Skins, the first posthumous album released by XXXTentacion. A surprise guest was advertised throughout the week and after Kanye West was announced to be featured on the album, fans were speculating that he might be the shock appearance at the concert. Yeezy was also collaborating with X's estate to design a three-piece merch collection to coincide with the album dropping. It turns out that people were correct in assuming that Kanye would appear as he stepped out for a brief performance to close out the event.

Videos and photos were posted on social media and fans were excited to be witnessing a legend on stage. The wild video for "One Minute" was also premiered at the event as Ye went on to sing "Can't Tell Me Nothing," "Black Skinhead," "Blood on the Leaves," and others. Attendees shared footage, as well as organizer YesJulz and a prominent Kanye West fan page on Twitter.

Hopefully, the merch makes its way online because, I'll be honest, I want to cop the crewneck. If you haven't peeped Skins yet, have a listen to it here and check out "One Minute" here.
