You may see Kanye West on the blogs at Fashion Week and parlaying through Paris with his wife Kim Kardashian and baby North West but make no mistake, the rapper is hard at work on his new project which is due to drop soon.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, his G.O.O.D. Music collaborator and writer Malik Yusef shed some light on what fans can expect from this project and although title, release date or other details haven’t been unveiled, the set has over more than 20 songs already completed and is shaping up to be a unique project that differs from his others.

Check out some of what he told the outlet below about his experience working with Yeezy and the new album.

 

Speaking on working on Kanye’s last album ‘Yeezus’

“Yeezus was a hard album to work on because it was a departure from where I wanted to be with our music,”

“Kanye was very declarative in his statement of ‘I don’t want this to be a regular Kanye album. I don’t want this to be what people are familiar with.'”

On The Process of Recording The Follow Up To ‘Yeezus’

“This album is different. It’s like a pair of Timberlands; like how Timberlands are not quite leather and not quite suede. It’s not the smooth, slick Chicago music sound we have right now and it’s not the ruggedness of just ‘hip-hop hip-hop hip-hop.’ We’re still working like a motherfucker. We’ve been all around the world [recording].”

On Disagreements with Kanye Over Direction 

“We fought over Yeezus every day,” he says, laughing. “There was no friendly disagreements. It was definitely a war. It’s ‘I don’t give a fuck, Malik. It’s a Kanye album, not a Malik Yusef album.’ Kanye’s kicked me off the label eight times.”

In July, West told GQ that he hoped to release his new album “most likely in September,” but no later than the end of the year. “I was thinking [the record] could somehow come out in June, like Yeezus, and just kill it for the summer,” he said at the time. “But then I’m like, I have to work on Adidas and be with my child.” A two-minute, lo-fi leak of West’s first single “All Day” leaked in August, but it was quickly taken down.
