Yeezy made the “sunken place” reference to last year’s Get Out after saying he loves the way “Candace Owens thinks.” Owens has been called a controversial right-wing conservative. “I believe the black community can do it without hand-outs,” she tweeted following his praise. “I believe the Democrats have strapped us to our past to prevent us from our futures. And I won’t stop fighting until all black Americans see that. I’m not far right—I’m free.”

I told you @Nas album done 😀
Bless up @nas

In addition to Nas, Kanye also recently revealed release dates for Pusha T’s next LP (May 25), his next solo album (June 1), a Kid Cudi joint project called Kids See Ghosts (June 8), and Teyana Taylor’s sophomore effort (June 22).

The Nas album is a long time coming and it follows several teasers. In 2016, Esco even released a song called “Nas Album Done” off DJ Khaled’s Major Key. However, delays kept it in the vault. It will be his first album since 2012’s Life Is Good.
