G.O.O.D. Music’s Q-Tip has eased diehard Kanye West fans’ tensions amid rumors Yeezy may have quietly scrapped his long-awaited SWISH album.

According to Tip, the LP initially had his and producer icon Rick Rubin’s names attached to it.

“Yeah, Rick and I were gonna do the record, and Kanye went through different phases musically, so we’ve yet to reconnect on his project. We’ve met a few times and he’s kept me up to speed here and there on what’s happening. He’s done the same with my record. We’ve been talking about some ideas for my record as well. We’re still in step. It’s not like [Kanye] scrapped any of it, that’s a rumor.” (Billboard)

Although slim with details, G.O.O.D. Music’s Travi$ Scott recently dished on the mysterious upcoming LP.

“Don’t think that you hearing ‘All Day’ and that’s the vibe of the album. Nah, man. This is some other next level thing he got going. He’s on his producing sh*t. He’s on his God-level rapping sh*t. It’s that Kanye everybody wants. It’s some ultimate sh*t.” (Power 106 FM)

Recent reports claimed Ye’s latest solo album would arrive this fall.

Last month, Kanye vowed not to rush out his latest studio offering.

“I’m just living my life. I’m having a good time, I’m with my family, and I’m getting the opportunity to create, work on my clothes, work on my films, work on DONDA, work on the next album, work on it slowly, make it an art project, deliver the innovation I know and that I’ve consistently done since 808s and Dark Fantasy. I’m in my own zone. I can’t walk around trying to defend myself.” (Hot 97)
