Kanye West’s upcoming album is knocking on the doors. Since his alleged announcement at Travis Scott’s ‘Utopia’ concert, back-to-back updates have pumped up fans’ enthusiasm. An Instagram user, Gregor Estevan, recently confirmed that the 46-year-old is going full steam ahead with his upcoming album in Italy. But Ye was not the only rapper present at the hotel. There was another Grammy Award Nominee, Ty Dolla $ign, in the next room.

While fans were trying to wrap their heads around this news, another update about popular rapper and singer Cyhi the Prynce being present in Italy further added fuel to the fire. And now, after the association of so many big names from the urban music industry, another creative genius’ involvement in Ye’s next banger has been doing the rounds. 

Kanye West rumored to be collaborating with his former director

The ‘College Dropout’ rapper has maintained a tight lip about his upcoming project, which led fans to dig for updates on their own. The noise around Ye’s upcoming project started when the rapper was in Japan, and it has continued to grow louder since then. A fan page dedicated to Ye called Donda Times, recently posted another insider scoop on the highly anticipated album. While the world knows by now that Ye is cooking up something big in Italy, no one was aware of the presence of the creative mastermind behind The Donda Experience Performance, Aus Taylor.  

Director Taylor was the man behind Ye’s live concert, which was nothing short of an elaborate production, inviting a mass of chaotic fans. The Twitter page posted a photo of the director posing with the ‘Or Nah’ singer, who is also likely to be collaborating in Ye’s new album. Donda Times also captioned the post saying, “Aus Taylor in Ye’s studio of his Florence hotel room,” confirming the collaboration of yet another creative mastermind.

After witnessing Taylor’s artistic ability at the Miami event, this update assured fans that Ye’s ‘Donda 2’ follow-up would be an even bigger hit.

The concert that caused a storm in Miami two years ago

The Donda Experience Performance was a creative collaboration between the ‘Yeezus’ creator and many other popular hip-hop legends. The show took place at LoanDepot Stadium in Miami, Florida, which sent shockwaves across the sunshine state. Acting on his promise to deliver special moments, the  24 Grammy Awards winner managed to bring in Migos, Jack Harlow, Pusha T, Baby Keem, and many other popular rappers to perform at the event. While this listening event was successful in captivating the audience, it also had its own challenges.

The concert could not go smoothly till the end owing to multiple technical difficulties that somehow killed a buzz in the later parts of the event. The sound delays in the concert even frustrated Ye, who threw away his mic while performing ‘Jail pt 2’. Many other performances were also out of sync, inviting mockery from the masses. One cannot blame the rapper for firing his sound team after the event. Nevertheless, the show still compelled fans across the world to watch it live on Instagram who could not attend the event.
