AceShowbiz - Kanye West may have found a title for his next album, which he announced a few days ago. Over the weekend, the rapper took to Twitter to reveal that he'd tentatively named the "T.L.O.P." follow-up "Turbo Grafx 16" after the '80s video game console.
"My next album is titled 'Turbo Grafx 16' as of now...," 'Ye tweeted and said that he was "just on some super nerd vibes" and that the "Turbo Grafx 16", or "TurboGrafx-16" as it's stylized, was one of his "favorite gaming systems" when he was a kid. He went on recalling memories he had with the gaming system, adding that " 'Blazing Lazers' was probably my favorite game on that console."

"Turbo Grafx 16" is currently scheduled for release sometime this summer. The record will possibly have a new name when it comes out, though. It's worth noting that Kanye changed the title of his latest effort several times before he went with "The Life of Pablo".
