Kanye West’s upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live has led to speculation that he may soon announce his sixth solo album, the follow-up to 2010’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. According to New York City radio DJ Peter Rosenberg, the album is in fact complete, and West’s record label Def Jam recently hosted a listening party. Rosenberg went on to describe the album as “dark.”



West reportedly recorded the album in Paris alongside a number of guest contributors, everyone from Daft Punk and TNGHT to Chief Keef and Azealia Banks.

Here’s audio of Rosenberg discussing West’s new album on air (via Kanye To The).
