During a Twitter binge, Kanye West has announced that he is producing a new album with Nas.

“I’m hand producing all the albums I tweeted about. Been chopping samples from the sunken place Pusha May 25th My album June 1st me and Cudi June 8th and Teyana June 22nd and oh yeah…” he wrote on Twitter.

He mentions the albums he’s produced from Teyana Taylor, Pusha T and adds Nas to his list which already includes albums from himself and a collaboration with King Cudi. This is his first mention of an album with Nas. His manic album schedule currently looks something like this:

May 25th: Pusha T

June 1st: Kanye West

June 8th: Kanye and King Cudi (Kids See Ghost)

June 15th: Nas

June 22nd: Teyana Taylor

In spite of how mad this schedule seems, on the Brilliant Idiots podcast last week, West’s friend “Charlemagne Tha God”, said that West was in a good mental state.

“He’s in a very good space, he’s not shying away from discussing mental health, [therapy,] all that, meds and everything,” he said.“I don’t know that he’s on meds because we didn’t discuss that. A lot of things we saw Kanye going through he’s like… we kinda laugh at it — not laugh at it, but he’s an entertainer so we don’t take it as serious. When he’s onstage singing ‘Jay-Z, don’t send the killers after me,’ that’s paranoia.”
