Kanye West delivered a surprise five-song set in the middle of Future’s headlining performance at Rolling Loud California Sunday, Dec. 12.
After Future welcomed him to the stage, West kicked things off with his Graduation classic, “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” which he followed with a pair of Donda tracks, “Hurricane” and “Praise God.” West then ran through “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1,” after which he aided Future with a freestyle on “Fuck Up Some Commas”
While West was ostensibly done after that, he stuck around on stage to enjoy the rest of Future’s set (it seemed like there was to be one more surprise when the DJ started playing “Flashing Lights,” but Future’s set ended soon after with “Drankin N Smokin” and a large fireworks display).
West’s appearance at Rolling Loud California comes on the heels of his big reunion/beef-squashing concert with Drake last Thursday, Dec. 7. The show, which was staged at the Los Angeles Coliseum, also doubled as a benefit concert to free Larry Hoover, the cofounder of the Gangster Disciples, who is serving a life sentence in federal prison.
West released his most recent album, Donda, back in August. The LP is up for Album of the Year and Best Rap Album at next year’s Grammys, while “Hurricane” is up for Best Melodic Rap Performance and “Jail” is up for Best Rap Song.
Two other opening ceremonies took place in Canada and Mexico, marking the first time the tournament has been co-hosted across multiple countries
The new record marks the DJ and producer's eighth full-length effort.
Kanye West is currently going on a World Tour, and with "Gemini Season" making the rounds, the artist has a new album dropping.
"My initial instinct was I didn't know where it was all going, but I just knew I needed to be in the studio"
The song is set to feature on a currently-unannounced new album, expected to drop in 2027
The music legend also said that he only expected people to care about the band for “a couple of years, if we’re lucky”
