"Yeezy season approaching/ **** whatever y'all been hearing."
Last year, Kanye West dropped his left-field, sixth studio album, "Yeezus" with little notice and minimal marketing.
Since November, when West first shared his plans to release his seventh studio album this summer, we've been wondering: When? (Followed with: How 'bout now?)
While 'Ye preps for his wedding with Kim Kardashian, to take place this Saturday (May 24) – and rumors and rumblings of a new (quick post-wedding) song begin – we've compiled everything we know, thus far, about West's 2014 full-length effort.

Yeezy told Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club that his 2014 album will be his very own "Born In the U.S.A." S1 added that it will "connect strongly." Evian Christ told self-titled that 'Ye wants "something that sounds a bit like Otis Redding, a bit like Mobb Deep."

Mike Will Made It: "Kanye has been trying new ideas and has been reaching out to me for new ideas," Mike Will told Billboard in February. "Whether or not it's the 'Black Skinhead' remix, we don't know, but it's definitely dope what we have so far," he tells Billboard. "[We’re] are just working, period. It depends on where the music is lands, but hopefully we do something on his next album."

Update: A source says that as of two-weeks ago, there's 12 songs on the album. Out of six heard, it's "mostly a mixture of soul samples and tamed 'Yeezus'-esque darkness... nothing abrasive."
I'm so ready for this. YEEZUS could've been a huge album if it was properly handled.
1st single: New Slaves
2nd single: I Am A God
3rd single: Black Skinhead
4th single: Send It Up (this could've been a huge summer song)
But I'm ready for Pop Kanye to make another appeareance
