In what is shaping up to be one of the most eventful years for the Kanye West fandom, all stars are pointing to Saudi Arabia. The beginning of 2023, which saw the rapper leave the US for Japan, is looking at some potential outcomes during his Middle Eastern sojourn. Coming right after fresh concert cancellations, the recently surfaced photos shed a light on what was to come. Along with a likely mammoth collaboration, fans can expect to groove to beats from around the world.

At a time when there is no official announcement, the latest behind-the-scenes snap took fans by surprise.

Kanye West and team test beats out in the Arabian Desert

The ubiquitous rapper has taken to leaving his fans to jot down clues and frame the outcome for themselves in a whodunnit mission of sorts. Long after he was snapped in one photo or another across a plethora of European nations, Ye has now settled in the oasis-rich holiday destination of AlUla in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the recently surfaced photo also previewed studio equipment at work in the five-star Banyan Tree resort.

Sitting out in the sun, West gave off utopian vibes as fans tried to decipher what was to come. Reportedly, the team includes his studio musicians, producers, and designers who are all hard at work for an upcoming collaboration alongside Ty Dolla $ign. Already teased by the latter, the team up will be the duo’s next outing after ‘Junya Pt 2’ from 2021’s ‘Donda’. Additionally, there is also a long list of many other talents who have purportedly lent their voice to the upcoming record-breaker.

By all means, Kanye West’s trip to the Arabian nation is not all about music. It has also come along with extending connections and talking business.

Ye previews music and talks about fashion in Saudi Arabia

One unique factor that isolates Kanye West from many other rappers is his urge to be in the moment. Notwithstanding any potential backlash, the rapper has always taken a stand for what he believes is best for himself. Sticking by it, he had recently filed trademarks for a new fashion brand that may or may not be in tandem with Yeezy. Along the lines, he recently met the CEO of a Dubai-based sustainable clothing brand, potentially to talk business.

On the flip side, Ye also took time out to play fresh verses for music mogul, J. Prince. The latter also gave his seal of approval to the same, much to fans’ content. Meanwhile, coupled with the surfaced photos of his latest workplace, fans may stay hopeful of new music to land soon. As the shots have all but amped up the hype once more.
