Kanye West Hints At Collaborative Album With Drake

Yeezus may have answered the prayers of rap fans everywhere.

Hip-hop star Kanye West strongly teased during a show that he and fellow hip-hop honcho Drake would be teaming up for a collaborative album.

"Is y'all ready for this album?" West — making a surprise appearance during Drake's set — asked the OVO Fest audience in Toronto on Monday night.

"Now, I'm not talking about 'Pablo.' I wasn't talking about 'Views,'" he continued, referring to his and Drake's respective albums this year. "I wanna ask y'all right now, y'all ready for THIS album?"

He then pointed to Drake, earning an eruption of cheers from the audience.

It's not the first time the "Famous" artist has hinted at a possible collaboration with Drake. Last year, West revealed on "The Breakfast Club" radio show that his hit "Wolves" stemmed from a discussion he had with Drake about working together.

"The 'Wolves' song came from a conversation that me and Drake had, when was gonna do an album together, and the album was called Wolves," West divulged.

Then, earlier this year, West declared on Twitter that he, Drake and Future could be teaming up for a project as well.

"Drake would come by and just help, no strings," he wrote. "Future also came by to write. We all got new s--t together that's gonna drop soon."

Drake, meanwhile, has also addressed the possibility of he and Yeezy coming together for an album in the past, telling NMEin April that they were "supposed to do a mixtape together."

"We'll just sit and collaborate," he said of West. "We have a few things that we've worked on. It's all about finding a place for it."

The rap duo has been featured on several songs together in the past, including Drake's "Pop Style" earlier this year and his star-studded hit "Forever" in 2007.

Despite West's proclamation on Monday night, neither rapper has officially announced a collaborative album between them as of yet.

While Kanye's collaboration with Drake could be imminent, it appears another team-up venture may be advancing a little more slowly between West and a different Hollywood star.

Late night host James Corden recently revealed to British GQ that the eccentric rapper has backed out of his wildly popular "Carpool Karaoke" segment on two occasions.

“Kanye has been booked to do 'Carpool Karaoke' now twice, and both times something came up,” he said. “He’ll do it eventually. He wants to do it.”
