Kanye West & Drake Tease Joint Album At OVO Fest
Kanye West was one of Drake’s special guests during the second night of OVO Fest tonight — along with Popcaan, French Montana, and Rihanna (reprising her appearance from the night before) — and according to the Twitter account Team Kanye Daily, Yeezy announced that he and Drake are working on an album together. Drake’s OVO Sound Radio confirmed that the album will be released this year.

This isn’t the first time these two have teased a collaborative album: In February 2015, Kanye told radio morning show The Breakfast Club he and Drake were doing a project together called Wolves. Presumably the “Wolves” that made it on The Life Of Pablo was part of that Kanye/Drake album at one point, which would fit with this year’s rumors that an early version of the track featured Drake and Björk rather than Vic Mensa and Sia. And around the time Pablo dropped, Kanye thanked Drake for helping with “Father Stretch My Hands” and tweeted that he had new material with Drake and Future “dropping soon.”
Drake would come by and just help, no strings. Future also came by to write. We all got new shit together that's gonna drop soon.

Now all that’s left is for Jay Z and Future to make an album together to complete the circle.
