After months of teasing and a number of title changes and last-minute recording sessions, Kanye West on Thursday is releasing his latest album, The Life of Pablo.

The new set arrives this afternoon during West's Yeezy Season 3 fashion show at Madison Square Garden., which includes a listening party of the new album.

The Life of Pablo, which was previously called So Help Me God and Swish and then Waves, includes a crush of new material from Ye, although some of his previously released tracks are absent, most notably his recent, very buzzworthy collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, "No More Parties in L.A."

While the handwritten tracklist Ye shared this week did not include features, the album itself is full of guest appearances, including vocals from Rihanna, Chance the Rapper, The Weeknd, The-Dream, Young Thug and Frank Ocean(!).

Watch the live stream of the show the album below, which officially releases Friday. West will also perform this weekend on Saturday Night Live.
