G.O.O.D. Music head Kanye West‘s long-awaited Turbo Grafx might really be happening. New reports claim the rumored video game-inspired project’s tracklisting has surfaced.
According to reports, Yeezy has teamed up with rap producer Pete Rock for the upcoming solo effort.
After a series of videos were uploaded to Pete Rock’s Instagram, KanyeToThe users noticed a notepad on the mixing desk similar to the now infamous The Life of Pablo notepad. One of the video captions reads: “Playing 45s in da lab with Kanye West.” (Genius)
This week, reports revealed Kanye had built a temporary music studio to create new tunes as he recovers from a recent hospitalization.
Sources close to Kanye tell TMZ … since he got home, he’s been more relaxed and focused. We’re told Kanye’s built a temporary studio in their Bel-Air mansion so he can have the privacy he needs to get healthy, while also making new music as ideas come to him. Our sources say Kanye’s comparing the breakdown, and 8 day hospital stay, to his near-fatal car crash and his mother’s death. We’re told he feels he created some of his best work — “Through The Wire” and ‘808s’ — after those crises. (TMZ)
G.O.O.D. Music’s Teyana Taylor recently offered up some words of support for her longtime mentor.
“Take however much time you need, you know. Time heals all,” Taylor told The Associated Press on the red carpet Friday (Dec. 2) for the “tVH1 Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night” show. “He’s a workaholic. He worked his (expletive) off. And if he needs to get his mind right, then I think everybody should respect that and let him do that,” Taylor said. (Billboard)
A few days ago, G-Unit‘s 50 Cent shared his reaction to Ye’s headline-generating hospitalization.
“That was interesting because I felt like you could kind of see that coming in pieces. There were little outbursts. [Kanye doing it for the insurance money?] No. He could have just went to work.” (“Watch What Happens Live”)
