Kanye West is back at it, cooking up in the great G.O.O.D. state of Wyoming.
It was nearly a year ago when it was first reported that West had been “holed up” somewhere on a mountain top in the Equality State, working on new music. Pusha T also followed him there, and Steve Bartels, then-Def Jam CEO even confirmed that Mr. West was back “working.” The speculation has bubbled up again, now that ‘Ye has retreated back to those very mountains — this time with some friends.
Stepping back into the creative zone, Kanye was spotted in Kim Kardashian’s Instagram story, as she snapped a photo of a mountain (and a hint of her hubby) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. According to E!, via a source, Ye “has several producers, friends, and his personal trainer who have all dropped into town to work with him… It’s one of Kanye’s places and he is in heaven being in Jackson.”
The source also disclosed that “Kanye has been recording in Jackson Hole for the last week.” And as is normally the case when Kanye is back in the studio, a long list of potential collaborators have also been spotted in the mountainous state, including Nas, Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, King Louie, CyHi the Prynce, The-Dream, Mike Dean, Pierre Bourne and many more.
It’s also worth noting that Kanye has also been spotted with Kid Cudi on numerous occasions, including their surprise performance at adidas’ All-Star weekend event in Los Angeles. You add all these factors together in a bowl and you’ve got the ultimate recipe for Yeezy season approaching.
