Taylor, 27, contributed to West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, in 2010 before being signed to G.O.O.D Music the same year. Her debut album, VII, was released four years later in 2014.
Each project that was conceived from ‘Ye’s Wyoming Sessions were given the same livestream treatment as Teyana. If you caught the KTSE livestream last night, you were able to peep the aesthetics of the listening session. It featured NYPD cop cars sealing off blocks similar scenes of the FADE to FIT owner’s hometown.

The month of June has been a victory lap for G.O.O.D Music and its artists.
In April, Yeezy promised to produce five G.O.O.D albums, and that he did. And now, it’s time for Teyana Taylor’s moment in the spotlight.
KTSE is expected to be available on all streaming platforms later today.
