Kanye West: ‘Rich Black American’ album leak or hoax?

Is Kanye West’s new album called “Rich Black American?” Does the album even exist? According to Jan 4 Hip Hop Wired report, the new rumors about Kanye’s album may have some truth to them.

While there is a history of fake reports about Kanye West’s previous albums, a new screen shot of what supposedly are seven tracks off a new solo project for Yeezy has emerged. What is different about this leak is that there seems to be - at least some – weight to the claims.

Kanye West has admitted to penning a song about Kim Kardashian called “Perfect Bi**h,” which appears among the list of seven songs. Frank Ocean and Skrillex have both said that they were working on Kaye’s new solo album.

“Rich Black American” looks to have collaborations with the likes of Beyoncé, Pusha T, Frank Ocean, Florence Welch, Big Sean, and Skrillex. Of course, with Kanye West going quiet on Twitter and making no public statement about this current rumor, who knows whether this is legitimate or not.

There have been no definitive answers from Yeezy himself about a new album, a release date, or a track list. Certainly the longer the silence continues from Kanye’s camp, the more credence there is to "Rich Black American" being legit.
