Today, Kanye West launched a tweetstorm bemoaning how culturally irrelevant the Grammys have historically been. Compared with some of his more erratic social media posts, the multi-tweet updates made a ton of sense (to name three examples, Dexter Navy’s brilliant treatment of A$AP Rocky’s “L$D”

was wrongfully snubbed, Future and Young Thug were consipcuously absent and hip-hop has been mostly ignored in the Album of the Year category). However, during the constant stream-of-consciousness updates, he announced a new album.As he’s proven with his last album rollout, Kanye’s prone to premature promises when it comes to release dates. After all, what eventually became the great (and possibly unfinished) “The Life of Pablo” was originally expected to drop in the summer of 2014.
However, there might be some truth to the surprising tweet. Last night, Kanye debuted a new Sampha-featuring track called “Closest Thing to Einstein” at Yo Gotti’s Los Angeles album release party. He also has tweeted that he has collaborations in the works with Drake and Future coming, writing, “Drake would come by and just help, no strings. Future also came by to write. We all got new shit together that’s gonna drop soon.” On top of that, Kanye tweeted earlier this month that he’s worked 40 songs with Kendrick Lamar and 40 songs with Young Thug.
