It’s been a year since Yeezus, and Kanye West appears to have its followup almost ready.
In an interview with GQ, West stated, when asked about how far away the next record was, that it could come as early as September, which is just over a month away. “I think most likely September,” he stated, noting that while he goes “back and forth,” he should have one of the songs out “in the next couple of weeks.” He says initially he wanted the album to drop in June (to “kill it for the summer”) but has to “work on Adidas and be with my child.”
On the new single, entitled ‘All Day’, West claims that it’s “a song that can be in the club like ‘Don’t Like’ or ‘Niggas in Paris,'” so we’re hoping it’s actually going to show up in a couple of weeks as planned. There’s always the threat that he could scrap it all and go back to the drawing board, as he says in the interview “when Beyoncé was working on her last album, she took a while.”
