Justin Laboy says Kanye West's new album is dropping "this week"

Last night (18 July) Kanye West appeared to host an album listening party in Las Vegas. While details of the album are yet to be announced, the likes of Baby Keem, Westside Gunn, Lil Baby, Travis Scott and Pusha T are rumoured to feature on the album.

Prior to the listening party, Justin Laboy took to Twitter to reveal that he got an early listen to the new album alongside professional basketball player Kevin Durant. He wrote, "Kanye West album is really done. When it drops this week, we probably not going to listen to anything else for a while.. Let me go enjoy all the current artist I’m listening to until then. God bless."

In another tweet, he wrote of the new album, "The production is light years ahead of it’s time, and the bars sound like he’s broke & hungry trying to get signed again. Any artist who plan on dropping soon should just push it back."

It's currently unclear if the upcoming album will be his DONDA album that was teased last year.

The album will follow 2019's Jesus Is King.
