Kanye West has been working on his highly anticipated, long-awaited album "SWISH," which is a follow-up to his 2013 album "Yeezus," for some time now, and while we may not know when the exact release date will be, Lamar Odom and Pusha T have already gotten a sneak peek.
West, 38, and his wife Kim Kardashian went to visit her sister Khloe's husband Lamar Odom in the hospital on Thanksgiving, where he is recovering from a near-fatal overdose, and West let him listen to the in-the-works album. While at Thanksgiving dinner at Khloe's house, when asked what he is thankful for, West said, while smiling, "I'm thankful that Lamar like my album," according to People. "We did visit Lamar today, and we played him his new album," Kim then explained to the family. "When it was done, I said, 'Did you like the music?' and he said, 'Loved it!'"
During his Yeezy Collection fashion show back in September, West didn't seem very concerned about setting a specific release date or rushing to get the album out any time soon. "I'm not sure. I'm not worried about the years," he said in an interview with Vanity Fair. "I'm worried about the life and the body of work that I can put out while I'm breathing."
Rapper Pusha T, who is a frequent collaborator with West and the recently appointed president of West's music label G.O.O.D., also got an early listen, and he said that Yeezy's fans may not have to wait to hear "SWISH" as long as they may have thought.
"I think the world is psyched for the new Kanye album. [West is] super meticulous about the messaging around his album," he told Entertainment Weekly, while also adding that the album is "incredible." As for the release date, "There won't be much warning, I'm sure," he said. "It's gonna drop out of the sky."
