Kanye West confirms he and Drake are making a joint album

After many months of swirling rumors, Kanye West confirmed to Vogue that yes, he and fellow rapper Drake are collaborating on a studio album. In an interview published Wednesday, West told the magazine that he and the Toronto native are "working on a bunch of music together, just having fun going into the studio." West and Drake have long been rumored to be working on a collaboration, and the speculation intensified late last month after a billboard appeared in Los Angeles with the logos of both rappers' labels:

"We're working on an album," West told the magazine, without specifying a release date. "There's some exciting things coming up soon." Read more of what the Chicago-born musician has planned for his future — including his next fashion adventure — at Vogue.
