During his latest Twitter outburst, Kanye West has seemingly confirmed that future releases will be confined to streaming-services only.
Announcing that Yeezus was his last CD release, West failed to comment whether his music would still be TIDAL-only exclusives, though it seems he’s calling the nail in the coffin for the format.
Uuuuum… hi everybody!

Ironically, physical releases are now seeing a dramatic resurgence, with vinyl and now cassettes being purchased in droves by collectors the world-over.
A fortnight back, Kanye also confirmed an all-new album is in the works, with a prospective release later this summer. Check out more info about the record, here.
