Finding Yandhi

Kanye West was supposed to drop his latest album — his third full-length of 2018 — Yandhi at midnight on September 29. This was not only promised via a series of massive billboards but also by ’Ye himself, who tweeted and posted the release date to his Instagram.

While Kanye West was busy performing on Saturday Night Live dressed as a giant Perrier bottle it appears he forgot something on that to-do list. Oh yeah — the album he promised didn’t drop.

Soon after  Kim Kardhashian West (Kanye’s wife) posted the following on October 1, which has (almost) broken the internet again.

more than can be said is that a few songs would be featuring Ty Dolla $ign, with other guest artists including controversial figures 6ix9ine and the late XXXTentacion. In a since-deleted tweet, Universal Music Publishing Group said that Yandhi is expected to have eight songs. It also revealed that New Jersey native Ant Clemons is expected to be prominently featured on the album, appearing on seven of the eight tracks.

The list of potential collaborators is a long one given the endless G.O.O.D Music affiliates. However, G.O.O.D guys aside, it could be that Chance the Rapper and Lil Pump may appear. And perhaps Young Thug, too.
