Kanye West announces Cruel Winter, featuring a just-out-of-jail Gucci Mane
Just when you thought The Kanye Machine—the lurching, unstable, and fitfully brilliant contraption that recently (and forcefully) shoved an album, a fashion line, and roughly a million tweets, Twitter reactions, and music news stories out into the world—might finally be winding down for a while, it looks like someone has once again turned the key. Which is to say, Kanye West has announced a new collaborative album, Cruel Winter, the sequel to his 2012 compilation Cruel Summer.
