Kanye West Has Reportedly 'Been Cooking Up' New Music That 'Sounds Crazy'

Kanye West is finally working on new music after his antisemitism controversy. According to a new report, the rapper has "been cooking up in the studio all summer," and the new music "sounds crazy." It'll be West's first music project since the Donda 2 album and the now-deleted Censori Overload song.

West's controversy began in October 2022 and cost him partnerships with brands like Balenciaga and Adidas. Months later, the rapper is battling another indecent exposure controversy in Italy. West and his wife Bianca Censori have been criticized for their "indecent dressing" during their vacation in the country.

Kanye West is reportedly working on new music and his next album. A source revealed to Page Six that the Grammy award-winning rapper has been "cooking up in the studio all summer." The source claimed that West's new music "sounds crazy" and that fans should heavily anticipate.

An earlier report from NBC News revealed that West and his wife, Bianca Censori, had been working on the new tracks together. One of the news outlet's sources claimed that "New music is imminent."

The upcoming new music would be West's first music project since "Donda 2," which was released exclusively on his Stem Player. He also released a single titled "Censori Overload," which has now been deleted. It's unclear if West will release further music on traditional streaming sites or use a platform like the Stem Player.

West pressed pause on his music career after his antisemitism controversy in October 2022. At the time, the rapper tweeted about "going death con 3 on Jewish People." A few weeks later, West appeared on a popular conspiracy theorists podcast and praised controversial Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

During several interactions with paparazzi, West also refused to backtrack his comments, insisting they weren't antisemitic. Shortly after his comments went viral and received backlash, several brands terminated their partnerships with the "All of the Lights" rapper.

West lost his professional relationships with Adidas, Balenciaga, and Gap. Talent agency CAA and production company MRC also cut ties with the controversial rapper. This resulted in him losing over $1 billion of his net worth and his billionaire status. 

His most recent comments on the antisemitism controversy came in March when West said on his Instagram page that Jewish actor Jonah Hill in "21 Jump Street" made him "like Jewish people again."

He wrote at the time, "Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again. No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people. No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you."

Since his controversy, West stopped stage performances until he recently joined rapper Travis Scott for a concert. The "Heartless" rapper joined Scott for a performance in Rome ahead of his upcoming Circus Maximus tour.

As he introduced West to the audience, Scott heavily praised his fellow rapper as a great inspiration in music. He called West the "only human being on this motherf**king planet that has ever walked side by side with me through anything and every motherf**king thing."

The crowd went wild as the "I Wonder" rapper appeared on stage. The two rappers then performed two songs from West's vast music catalog. West and Scott performed "Praise God" from the 2021 Donda album and "Can't Tell Me Nothing" from the Graduation album.

Despite the fallout from his antisemitic controversy, West seemingly hasn't learned his lesson. The rapper and his "wife," Censori, have recently come under criticism for their multiple revealing outfits during their ongoing Italy vacation.

Censori first came under fire for wearing several revealing outfits, including a nude mesh catsuit and skintight clothes that revealed her breasts. West then worsened the situation by recently exposing his bare butt on a boat ride with Censori in Venice.

Photos from the scandalous moment show Censori nestling her head in West's lap with his derriere on full display. The couple seemed unaware of the shocked tourists passing by and recording the moment with their phones.

West and Censori have also been criticized for going around Italy barefoot, which fans say poses a health risk to the places he visits.
