After a lot of speculation, scrapped concerts, and a whole lot of controversy leading up to it, we're closer than ever to this team-up.

It seems like Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West's new album is happening after all... at least, we'll technically get to listen to it. Moreover, the former just announced via Instagram on Monday (October 23) that their collaborative project will result in various listening parties across multiple stadiums on November 3. For those unaware, speculation ran rampant online about their team-up over the past month or so thanks to hints about it, vague announcements, and social media sightings. In fact, we already went through this cycle recently with a rumored but then scrapped Italy concert that seems unlikely to go down.

Furthermore, this post suggests that we're finally in full album rollout mode for, at the very least, Ty Dolla Sign and Kanye West's offering as a duo. Along with buzz about this, reports suggested that the Chicago MC is working on a solo album as well, although that's a bit more unclear. After all, what other artist can say that they have as many scrapped albums that fans obsess over as they do classic studio projects? If there's any album announcement that comes with a mountain of salt, it's Ye's.

In addition, this is also an interesting development because it hints at the album's actual release coming soon, as well. Otherwise, it seems odd for Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign to hold a listening party so exclusive that the album won't be available in any particular way. if you're confused, this is relevant because earlier reports pointed to the duo shopping their album around for distribution. Maybe the news that Rick Ross might be the one to bring the LP to light actually held more truth than some likely assumed.

Meanwhile, all this has a dark shadow looming over it, and that's the Yeezy mogul's year under heavy public scrutiny. Whether it's for his antisemitic comments, his love life drama, or his leaked disses against other rappers, he is not at all in the best public favor. With a new release apparently incoming, listeners have a choice: to stick by the condemnation of this behavior or let it all slide and become a thing of the past. In the latter's case, it would be tragic for all the relevant discussion and righteousness to go to waste. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign.
