AceShowbiz - It looks like Kanye West is gearing up for new music. According to rapper Rooga, who's a longtime associate of Ye, revealed in a recent interview that the "N***as in Paris" rhymer is currently working on a new album.

The 29-year-old emcee brought up the claim when appearing on the "No Jumper" podcast. "He's working on an album," he told host Adam22. The Chicago native, however, didn't offer more details as he only repeated his initial statement.

Around one week prior, a song titled "Not the Same" resurfaced online, which is presumably from his circa 2011 era. "I hear the girls scream soon as we arrivin'/ You can ask Ibn, we be straight mackin'/ Y'all work at IBM, hotels they be in/ Ooh la la, tres bien magnifique/ Any street, life before this is hard," the Yeezy designer spits in the opening verse as he mixes French into his lyrics.

The origin of "Not the Same" remains unclear. However, based on a Reddit deep dive, it was not a Kanye song. His verse is allegedly from an L.E.P. Bogus Boys track, which was set to be part of the disbanded Chicago group's shelved 2011 album.

Music aside, Ye recently took a trip to Japan with his wife Bianca Censori. The couple jetted off to Tokyo several days ago to meet her Australian parents, Leo and Alexandra. Bianca's sister Angelina was also present during the family trip.

In one snap shared by Angelina, the pair could be seen flashing smiles while posing together. The "Donda" artist donned an all-black outfit and a black scarf covering half of his face. Meanwhile, his architect wife opted for a bright red latex bodysuit that hugged her body.

Another picture saw Bianca's parents lovingly walking hand-in-hand in the capital city of Japan. The group was also spotted in the crowd at a traditional sumo wrestling match.
