Kanye West Reveals 'Cruel Summer' Artwork

Slowly but surely, we're starting to get more info from Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music crew about their upcoming team effort, Cruel Summer. The album is now slated to arrive September 4 via G.O.O.D./Def Jam, and up above you'll find its angelic artwork.

While details as to who exactly whipped up the ivory-coloured artwork, which features a tranquil statue coyly cradling her breasts, are up in the air, the piece's ivy-esque backdrop is aesthetically similar to last year's Riccardo Tisci-designed Watch the Throne cover. It's purely speculative at this point, but chances are, ahem, good that given Tisci's past collaborations with West, the Givenchy creative director could have had a hand in this project.

A tracklisting has yet to pop up for the platter, but the LP will feature the talents of West, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, 2 Chainz and more, and will apparently feature previously premiered cuts "Mercy" and "New God Flow."
