Kanye West Announces His New Album Will Be Titled 'Turbo Grafx 16'

Kanye West will be releasing a new album this summer. On Friday, February 26, he announced that it's title will be "Turbo Grafx 16." An ode to the now defunct TurboGrafx-16 Entertainment SuperSystem.


West explained to his nearly 20 million Twitter followers why he chose that title.

"My next album is titled Turbo Grafx 16 as of now," he wrote. "just on some super nerd vibes… one of my favorite gaming systems when I was a kid. Blazing Lazers was probably my favorite game on that console."
