Kanye West apparently premiered new material at a small listening event in Las Vegas on Sunday night. (July 18) These claims first came from Revolt TV host Justin Laboy, who tweeted that the rapper played the album for him and Kevin Durant. “Kanye played his new album for me & @KDTrey5 last night in Vegas. Man listen! The production is light years ahead of it’s time, and the bars sound like he’s broke & hungry trying to get signed again. Any artist who plan on dropping soon should just push it back #Respectfully” In two further individual tweets, Laboy claimed that West’s new album will be arriving at some point this week. “Kanye West album is really done,” he wrote, “When it drops this week, we probably not going to listen to anything else for a while..” Producer Teddy Walton also tweeted about a new Kanye West album, which he appears to have contributed to. “Honestly can’t wait till [Kanye West] drop,” he wrote. “& I’m glad to be apart [sic] of history… See y’all soon.”
