Kanye West to Executive Produce Rihanna's New Album

BY Alex HudsonPublished Feb 8, 2015

We already knew that Kanye West was involved in Rihanna's new album thanks to his appearance on the lead single "FourFiveSeconds" (which also features Paul McCartney). It turns out that this isn't Yeezy's only contribution to Rihanna's impending collection, since the rapper has revealed that he is serving as executive producer for the entire album.

West revealed this piece of information tonight (February 8) while on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. This is just the latest in a string of collaborations over the years, as Yeezy and RiRi also worked together on the former's "All of the Lights" and Jay Z's track "Run This Town."

It remains to be seen exactly how much West will leave his mark on Rihanna's album, but we can definitely expect to hear more from these two collaborators very soon. New albums from both artists will likely be out in 2015.

In the past, Kanye has executive produced albums for artists like Pusha T, Theophilus London, Tyga, and more.
