The world is about to get another dose of Yeezus, coming sometime this fall. In his new interview with GQ, rapper Kanye West dishes on the tentative release date of his new album and his new Jay Z style single.
In addition to dishing on what he's learned from his reality star wife Kim Kardashian, West revealed that he was hoping to rule the summer with album no. seven but that he inevitably had to hold it back until it was truly completed and that he had other commitments, including baby North West.
"When Beyoncé was working on her last album, she took a while. I was thinking it could somehow come out in June, like Yeezus, and just kill it for the summer. But then I'm like, I have to work on Adidas and be with my child," he said.
So, is there a release date on the horizon? For West, nothing is concrete but the album could be arriving as soon as fall, with a taste of new music in the "next couple of weeks."
"I think most likely September. I go back and forth. Like, should it be September or should it be October? Should it be November?" he said regarding a release date for his Yeezus follow-up.
Though West's June 2013 album featured more experimental music than in the rapper's past, including the heavy singles "Black Skinhead" and "Blood on the Leaves," at least one track from 'Ye's new album will be ready to dance to.
"I had an idea of the way I wanted to do the album. And then I got a new song that's so good that the album has to be balanced against it. This song is a song that can be in the club like 'Don't Like' or 'N----s in Paris,'" he said.
So, it seems as though things are still taking shape.
Further details about West's new album are scarce, but it is known that he had to postpone an Australian tour earlier this year in order to work on the effort. A list of collaborators has also been exposed, with Mike WiLL Made It, Rick Rubin, DJ Mustard, Tyga and more reportefly working on the record.
