Yeezy Season has returned. Last night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, Kanye West performed at the Adult Swim upfront party. During his set, he gave a debut performance of  “Awesome” and the song Hudson Mohawke played over the weekend. After the jump, he ranted about his celebrity and upcoming SNL appearance. info

During DJ Hudson Mohawke’s set at the Free Form Festival in Poland last night, he played two new Kanye West songs. The first is hard to make out, but it sounds EDM inspired. The second is more audible. Arbitrarily entitled, “New Slaves”. ktt

Next time you see Ye in the streets, please no photos. While trying to avoid the paparazzi outside of a restaurant, Kanye accidentally smacked his head into a pole. Afterward, he spazzed on the lingering paps.

Kanye attended the Met Gala’s after-party last night in New York and performed a few new tracks including the rumored new single, “I Am A God”. DJ A-Trak and a few others provided Vine clips throughout the evening. “I Am A God” is supposedly set to debut May 18 during Ye’s SNL performance. Vogue’s planning to release HD footage of last night’s performance on Friday.

Word on the curb is that Kanye West’s sixth solo album is finished. According to Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg (and a Mole), Yeezy held a listening for the suits at Def Jam last week. Peter says the music’s dark, but only time will tell if it actually sees the light of day.
