*Kanye West tweeted his plans to release two new albums this summer over a span of one week, a solo effort titled “7 Songs,” due June 1, and a joint project with Kid Cudi called “Kids See Ghost,” due June 8, according to his tweets.
Rumblings of a new Kanye album started early Thursday (April 19) on rumors that Kanye had previewed his new material for Power 105.1 host Charlamagne Tha God the day before in Los Angeles. (Watch above.)
The rapper has now confirmed the news via Twitter.
“My album is 7 songs,” he wrote, before announcing the release date and then revealing his collaborative effort with Kid Cudi.

Kanye and Cudi last teamed up on “The Life of Pablo” track “Father Stretch My Hands Pt 2.”
Various reports said West has spent several months recording near Jackson Hole, Wyo. He has been photographed or reported to be in the studio with Migos, Big Sean, Lil Yachty, Vic Mensa, Mike Dean, Pete Rock, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), Pusha T, The-Dream, Travis Scott, Dave Chappelle and others.
In June of last year, Steve Bartels, then-CEO of West’s label Def Jam, told Variety that Kanye doesn’t necessarily keep the label apprised of what he’s doing.
“When we talk, we don’t really get down to the granular of where he’s going and how he’s flying there, we keep it much more on a broader level,” Bartels said. “Kanye is working, that’s been widely reported. He’s always very focused, and our relationship with him is that we always have great respect for him and when he’s ready to do something or talk about something, we’re there for him, we totally support his vision and his focus, and that’s where we leave it. I check in with him from time to time just to see how he’s doing. What’s great about our relationship is that I always know when it’s go time — because he wakes me up.”
