Kanye West has brought back the MiniDisc, sort of

Originally sparking rumours late last night that he might be following up his hit YEEZUS album after taking to his social media accounts to post a cryptic image of a MiniDisc featuring a similar look to the artwork used for his 2013 album, Kanye West has this morning confirmed YEEZUS 2 will definitely be dropping, and sooner than you think.

Using a stock photo of Sony’s short-lived medium with a purple tint to it, shortly after West posted the original cryptic image audio engineer Adam Wolpert took to his Instagram Stories to state:

“Sometimes you ask and receive. This was some hard sh*t to keep under wraps tho…”

Wolpert has worked on West’s Ye, his collaboration project with KiD CuDi, Kids See Ghosts, and Teyana Taylor’s Keep That Same Energy.

Not being cryptic for too long though, West then officially announced the release date of the somewhat surprise album in a new post. YEEZUS 2 is slated to drop on Saturday, September 29th, the same day he is set to perform on the 44th season premiere of Saturday Night Live.

Besides performing on SNL, Kanye West has also recently filed paperwork to launch his new film company, Half Beast.
