Kanye West has been spotted in Japan recently and it seems he’s there because he’s working on a record in secret.
As Page Six reports, Kanye is in Japan working with long-time collaborator Kid Cudi on a joint record that will be released as a surprise.
Cudi has also been spotted in Japan and, as Genius points out, the pair were seen leaving a studio in LA together earlier in the month.
The two rappers have a long history of collaboration but they’ve never officially released a project together.
Kanye’s last album was 2016’s The Life Of Pablo while Cudi released his album Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ last year too.
Last year it seemed like the relationship between the two was coming to an end. In a string of tweets Cudi said that Kanye, “don’t give a fuck about me.”
“I’m so hurt, I feel so disrespected,” Kanye responded in an on-stage rant.
Months later they both made up and Yeezy called Cudi his, “brother”.
No word on when the record will be released yet but in true Kanye style we probably won’t know until we’re listening to it.
