Kanye West Hot New 'So Help Me God' Album Release 2015: Some Fans May Have to Wait 'Several Months' for Yeezy's Upcoming LP
The highly anticipated release of Kanye West's seventh studio album, "So Help Me God," may be delayed on Spotify.
According to Breakit, Spotify users may have to wait "several months" to hear the Chicago emcee's latest project, due to his commitment to Jay Z's newly launched streaming service, Tidal.
Also, Hov's debut effort, "Reasonable Doubt," has officially been removed from the rival music streaming service, which means it is no longer available to Spotify users. Instead, Tidal has the entire critically acclaimed 1996 record in high fidelity for a subscription of $19.99 a month.
According to the publication, such move is called "windowing," which is often used in the film industry for people who do not want to pay for a movie ticket at the box office and would rather wait for the DVD version or Netflix release.
As a result, Spotify claimed "there has been sporadic limiting" since Tidal was created with supports from numerous high-profile musicians, including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Daft Punk and more.
Meanwhile, West's upcoming LP is rumored to feature Kendrick Lamar.
During a recent interview with Los Angeles' Power 106, the Compton lyricist was asked if he will be making a guest appearance on the "Yeezus" rapper's forthcoming record.
The hip-hop duo already collaborated, as K. Dot is listed, via Kanye To The, as one of the 17 musicians credited to "All Day," a track off "So Help Me God."
"No," said Lamar, before immediately changing his tone to a more hopeful yet still uncertain one.
"We worked," he added. "But he's still working. So, you never know."
Besides, Yeezy sees Lamar's music as "an inspiration," as he tweeted last month.
KENDRICK IS AN INSPIRATION. THANK YOU FOR THE VIBRATIONS AND THE SPIRIT. YOUR MEANING, MESSAGE AND EXECUTION ARE GIFTS TO THE WORLD.
