According to reports, Kim K is soaking in the hot weather while Mr. West puts together new songs.

The E! star has been staying at pal Joe Francis‘ beachside villa in Punta Mita for nearly two weeks now, and husband Kanye West and their daughter, North West, have been with her the entire time! But while his wife has been logging quality pool time, this has been largely a working vacation for Kanye, who’s recording new music with his production team near Puerto Vallarta. “His whole crew is out there recording,” a source exclusively tells E! News. “His whole music studio was shipped out. It’s been amazing.” (E! Online)

While details remain slim, Mr. West unleashed 20 never-before-heard songs at a club venue earlier this month.

Following his second set at London’s Wireless Festival last night, Kanye reportedly got behind the DJ booth and treated attendees of a private club event to about 20 never-before-heard tracks. While photos and videos were prohibited, a few details have leaked on social media, with one attendee describing the new songs as “dark,” “hellish,” and “ground-shaking.” Should Yeezy attempt to try to one-up Beyoncé by dropping 20 new music videos at the same time, we would not object.

Recently, music mogul Rick Rubin revealed he had linked with West to start looking at pieces for his next studio release.

Rubin previously helped produce the 2013 album ‘Yeezus’ and confirmed that recording on a follow up has begun while chatting to BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe as part of a special interview which will be broadcast in four parts (Monday – Thursday) next week. Rubin discusses his previous time spent with the rapper and also confirms that he is “looking at vocal ideas,” for a new release. Rubin added: “It was just a funny conversation because it was completely normal to him, it’s just the way he works… today, Kanye West is coming in and we’re starting looking at vocal ideas for things for the next album.” (NME)

Some recent reports claimed Kanye’s LP would have some soul vibes embedded into it.

Update: A source says that as of two-weeks ago, there’s 12 songs on the album. Out of six heard, it’s “mostly a mixture of soul samples and tamed ‘Yeezus’-esque darkness… nothing abrasive.” (Billboard)
