BEAUTIFUL MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHMMMMMMMMMOOOAARNINNNNNnnnNNNNnnnN
Yes folks of ResetERA, it is indeed a beautiful morning (or night, depending on time zones and the like), because the time has come: Kanye West and Kid Cudi are collaborating together on a 7 track album, under the alias "Kids See Ghosts" (which is also the name of the album). Rumours about this project being in the works date back to around winter 2016 (EVERYBODY WINS), so this has been a long time coming.
Tracklist:
1. Feel The Love ft. Pusha T (produced by Kanye West and Mike Dean; additional production by Dot Da Genius, Justin Vernon [of Bon Iver], Evan Mast [of Ratatat], Cashmere Cat, Francis and the Lights, Benny Blanco, Plain Pat, and Noah Goldstein)
2. Fire (produced by Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Andre 3000, Boogz, Evan Mast)
3. 4th Dimension ft. Louis Prima (produced by Kanye West and Mike Dean; additional production by Noah Goldstein)
4. Freeee [Ghost Town Pt. 2] ft. Ty Dolla $ign (produced by Dot Da Genius, Kanye West, Mike Dean, Jeff Bhasker, Kid Cudi; additional production by Boogz, Andy C, Andrew Dawson)
5. Reborn (produced by Evan Mast, Dot Da Genius, Kid Cudi, Plain Pat; additional production by Benny Blanco)
6. Kids See Ghosts ft. Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) (produced by Kanye West, Dot Da Genius, Kid Cudi, Mike Dean, Plain Pat; additional production by Justin Vernon, Andrew Dawson, Noah Goldstein)

The album is being premiered at a listening party in Los Angeles at
...on Thursday June 7th. The listening party, like the one for Kanye West's "ye" album, will be streamed on the WAV app. Though, as was the case for the "ye" listening party, there should be some YouTube and Twitch mirrored streams for us non-mobile brethren.
Also, there's supposed to be a short film to go along with the album, directed by Dexter Navy of L$D and A$AP Forever fame:

The album artwork is by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, who previously designed the artwork for Kanye's album Graduation, and directed the music video for the track Good Morning, from Graduation.
(posting these because it's beautiful art and Graduation is a fucking masterpiece of an album)
Cudi and Kanye visited Murakami last August:
