A New Kanye West Album Is Supposedly Coming Soon

Yesterday (Aug. 26), Gregor Estevan posted a photo with frequent Kanye West collaborator Ty Dolla $ign, claiming he heard new West music playing in his hotel room. Estevan captioned his Instagram story: “In Ye's hotel and the song is playing in his room while they record their new album. Sounds crazy!!”

This post follows an NBC News report exclaiming that sources close to the “All of the Lights” artist will release a new album soon. A source stated, "New music is imminent." This would be her first album available on all streaming sources since her Grammy-nominated album Donda. The release was followed by Donda 2 which was released exclusively on their Stem Players.

News of Ye's new song is interesting based on the timing of the report. With Drake's For All the Dogs without an announced schedule for the album's release, West added his name to the group. The two friend or foe fought silent battles over the dates of their last major solo albums.

West has been remotely quiet after the many controversial statements and actions that saw him lose his relationships with popular brands like GAP, Balenciaga and Adidas. More recently, he has gone viral for performing alongside his protégé Travis Scott. The multi-faceted rap star brought him to Italy and showed him love after many music lovers suggested that his newest album Utopia sounded similar to West's Yeezus.

When Scott shared the stage with West, he passionately stated, “There is no utopia without Kanye West. There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West. There is no Rome without Kanye West.” With no clear timeline for Ye's next project, people will be looking for more information as it arrives. It will be interesting to see how the music performs and where it will be housed.
