Kanye West’s New Album Is Complete
Dear rappers: Kanye West could make you tuck your whole autumn in, if he wants, because the follow-up to last year’s Yeezus seems to be complete.

Don’t play with our emotions, Yeezy!

Have some tea and biscuits on hand for November 24, The London Sessions’s scheduled release date.
