Will this February mark the return of Kanye West? Although Mr. West is just a few months removed from his game changing “Saint Pablo Tour”, and less than a year removed from his critically acclaimed album, The Life Of Pablo, it feels like it’s been the longest time, ever since Kanye removed himself from the limelight and sought help over his mental health.

And while the details are still unknown, the end of Kanye’s mini-hiatus may be near, as the official Twitter page for Kanye’s creative content company “Donda” (named after his late mother) foreshadowed Kanye’s return.

Tweeting “FEBRUARY #YEEZYSEASON”, it definitely appears that whoever runs the Donda Twitter knows something that we don’t. Will we get a new project? A new track? Or even the return of the Saint Pablo Tour? Kanye has been spending time with Rick Rubin… Well, we will know sometime this month!

When Rick Rubin and Kanye West get together, the end result is musical gold. Although it was originally met with mixed reviews upon its first release, Kanye West’s album Yeezus was another hit, and unlike nothing fans had heard before. And who played a big role in the Yeezus minimalist sound? None other than Rick Rubin of course.

And according to an Instagram post from Chicago rapper Towkio, Kanye West and Rick Rubin are likely working on music again. According to a text screenshot between Towkio and Rubin, Rubin played one of Towkio’s tracks ‘Swim’ for Kanye. Kanye loved the track, as did Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij.
