The first will be his own, due out on June 1, and it’ll feature a seven-song tracklist.
The second album will be a collaborative effort with Kid Cudi, which will come out on June 8.
Not only that, but West and Cudi have branded themselves as a duo, calling themselves “Kids See Ghost.”
These albums will be West’s first since he released his seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo, on Feb. 14, 2016.
They’re also not the only thing the 40-year-old is working on, as he also recently announced he was working on a philosophy book called Break the Simulation.
It’s not your typical book, however, as he is writing it in real time through a series of tweets he’s been posting.
West hasn’t tweeted any other details about the two albums, but his activity on Twitter suggests that more will be unsurfaced before the releases in June.
