Kanye West's Announcement

So….. Kanye West has managed to set the world in fire in the last couple of days. He recently announced that he and Kid CuDi are pointing out a joint album, he’s putting out his solo album, Pusha T dropping his next album and Teyana Taylor’s next album is coming as well.

First up to bat, is Pusha T. Pusha T has kept himself in the spotlight by becoming President of G.O.O.D. Music, popping up in the commercial with all major adidas signees (like Kristaps Porzingis, James Harden & Pharrell Williams), creating collaborative sneakers with adidas, overseeing careers and development of G.O.O.D. Music’s newest signees and popping up here and there by releasing random singles.

Now, the long awaited album, King Push (his follow up to King Push: Darkest Before Dawn) is finally seeing the light on May 25th. This album has high expectations as Pusha T himself has said that King Push will be 2018’s album of the year. Following up, and shortly after, Kanye’s next solo album will be releasing on June 1st.

It’s been over two years since Kanye West released his last album, Life of Pablo. Since then, a lot has happened to him personally. He has had a public feud with Jay Z. He has had another child with his wife, Kim Kardashian. And he has dealt with some health issues. So safe to say, Kanye West has a lot to talk about. However, he has said (via Twitter), his album will only have seven songs on it. Shortly after the release of Kanye’s album, will be the joint album with Kid CuDi, releasing on June 8th, titled Kids See Ghost.

If people have followed Kanye West’s career, then they know about the relation between himself and CuDi, as they have gone from the best of friends to becoming the worst of enemies. Recently reconciling and reconnecting, they have been working on music. For fans of both Kanye West and Kid CuDi, just hearing them work on music together was a joy to hear, but the two of them put out an album is a huge surprise for them. With a history of putting out good songs together (Erase Me and Make Her Say), fans are eager to see what can create. And finally, Teyana Taylor is putting out an album on June 22nd, exactly two weeks right after the release of Kanye & CuDi’s joint album.

Since the release of her last album, VII (released in July 2014), Teyana Taylor has been keeping herself busy and in the spotlight.

She has put out a couple of collaborations with Reebok to more recently having a reality show with her husband and current NBA player, Iman Shumpert. Not much else is known about her next album, other than the fact that Kanye West is the executive producer of her album.

Not only is Kanye the executive producing Teyana’s next album, he also is the executive producer for Pusha T’s next album and the joint album with CuDi as well. But, that’s all that is known about the four albums that were announced. As the countdown for the dates of the releases of the aforementioned albums starts, hopefully details about those albums will be released. Until then, people will have to just sit, wait, debate and wonder.
