Kanye West may have hinted that a new album is coming next Friday (July 24).
Ye briefly shared an image of a tracklist for his follow-up to 2019’s Jesus Is King in DONDA before deleting the post. The post included two of Ye’s recent releases, “Donda” as well as “Wash Us In The Blood” featuring Travis Scott.

Most of the posts on Ye’s Twitter account since Friday (July 17) have been scattered between filming workers at his YZY FTR compound in Wyoming freestyling and speaking on the power of God, previewing his YZY GAP line, showing off various font designs and teasing his maligned 2020 run for President of the United States.
Currently, Ye is seeking to be on the ballot in South Carolina after achieving the necessary steps to appear on the ballot in Oklahoma in November.
“If you’re a voter in South Carolina, please sign this petition to place me on the ballot Sponsored by Ye 2020,” he wrote on Twitter.
In a follow-up tweet, he listed eight different locations where the petition was available as well as on the official website.

For longtime Ye fans, the supposed DONDA tracklist contains songs that were part of the YANDHI album that was eventually scrapped including “New Body” with Nicki Minaj and “Hurricane.”
There’s also no word on whether or not DONDA is what Ye and Dr. Dre were working on when they were spotted in the studio weeks ago.
“Kanye West got some hot music. Shhhhh,” Snoop Dogg, who was in the studio with Ye and Dre whispered in a recently recorded video. “Kanye West got some hot shit. Only I can get exclusive footage. Shut up. Kanye West got some hot shit. It’s finna come out. Dr. Dre touched it.”

Kanye going from making an album largely about his depression from his mother dying to naming his latest album after her and celebrating her life… that’s beautiful.
