Kanye West has a few projects under his belt this year.

We're still waiting on Yandhi, the Kanye West album that's already had a sloppier roll-out than Ye. Over the past few months, 'Ye's been spotted in the studio with some of the biggest names in hip-hop such as Lil Wayne, Quavo, Timbaland and many others. However, it looks like he might be adding a touch of gospel to the album with the assistance of 112.

Speaking to TMZ, Slim of 112 elaborated on his recent meeting with Kanye West. Slim explained that the meeting he had with 'Ye had less to do with music and a lot more to do with spirituality. However, the topic of music did seem to arise during the meeting and Slim suggested that there's a chance they have new music on the way.

"We talked about a lot of things. There was a situation that's going on spiritually that he's involved himself in as far as church going on. It was kind of like the way I was raised. I was raised non-denominational," he said. "You could take music that's going on right now and you change it and you put, you know, the Lord, Jesus, you know, make it Christian. And it kind of draws the youth to church."

Aside from that, Slim also praised 'Ye as a "musical genius" before suggesting there's a collaboration with 112 in the works.
