Kanye West teased on social media a new album, titled Yandhi, and a Sept. 29 release date.
West posted on Twitter Monday what appears to be the album cover for the project followed by a text bubble that reads "Yandhi 9 29 18."
The album cover for Yandhi is a pink and more lightly colored version of the cover to West's 2013 album Yeezus. Bother covers feature a CD inside of a jewel case.
West, in addition to Yandhi, has been teasing a collaborative album with Chance the Rapper titled Good Ass Job and a follow-up to Watch the Throne, a collaborative album between West and Jay-Z that was released in 2011.
West confirmed the existence of Good Ass Job while speaking at Chance's Open Mic event in Chicago. Chance posted video of West onstage at the event on Twitter Monday.
