Yeezy Season approaches: Kanye West to release new music "every Friday"
After many months of chatter and rumours, Kanye West's new record SWISH looks to be nearing completion.
Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian West broke the news via Twitter:
������ Friiiiiiday!!!! New music!!!! #EveryFriday #Swish #RealFriends ������ ������

The delivery method mirrors Kanye's G.O.O.D. Fridays series that launched seminal album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010. For thirteen weeks Kanye would unleash a new - free - track, often featuring members of his label G.O.O.D. Music (now run by Pusha T), before releasing the full album.
Kanye's been steadily dropping new songs - such as "Wolves", "All Day", "FACTS", and more - since the announcement of the follow up to 2013's Yeezus, SWISH (originally titled So Help Me God).
There's word yet on when SWISH might actually materialise, but it looks to be sooner rather than later.
Speaking last month, Kanye explained that his new LP was nearing completion in a distinctly Kanye-y way:
I’m finishing my album and my next collection…
