Kanye West looks like he has another new baby on the way. No, we don’t mean Kim is expecting twins. Instead, he’s reported to have finished his upcoming new album.
The much-anticipated follow-up to 2010′s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has long been speculated on, and now it’s said to be on its way.
West is set to perform on Saturday Night Live during May, likely to perform tracks from the upcoming release described by hip-hop radio station HOT97 as “dark” and “gritty”.
Listen to that on air report below, in which DJ Paul Rosenberg claims that the record is “done”, having been recently played back to label Def Jam.
