The moment has finally arrived. Kanye West roars on tonight’s season finale of “Saturday Night Live,” debuting the rock influenced “Black Skinhead.” Wearing a black-studded leather jacket and the upcoming all-red Nike Air Yeezy 2′s, Kanye commanded SNL‘s stage, screaming his lyrics with a live band in support.

The news ‘Ye stans (myself included) have all been waiting for: Kanye West’s new album, entitled Yeezus, will release June 18. The announcement comes just hours after the Louis Vuitton Don pulled off one of the most unique and innovative marketing stunts: debuting his new single, “New Slaves,” on building walls in cities around the world.

Kanye, who will appear as the musical guest on tonight’s hugely anticipated SNL season finale, sent Twitter into a frenzy earlier this month by tweeting, “June Eighteen” — a date many believed to be his album’s release (and you were right!)

While we may only have the sole record to enjoy (albeit through video footage) thus far, Yeezus is rumored to feature plenty of high profile guests: Daft Punk, 2 Chainz, Odd Future, Chief Keef and Skrillex, to name just a few. The record has also been described as “dark but really good.” More material from Kanye’s sixth solo album will be revealed in spectacular fashion, no doubt.

It looks like Hov and Drake are back in the studio cooking up another collaboration. Jay’s been going in heavy lately. Just last week, he had a session with Raekwon. I just wonder if this will top “Light Up.”

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon played host to some hip-hop greats last night as De La Soul joined house band The Roots to perform a couple of early classics, “Jenifa Taught Me” and “A Rollerskating Jam Named Saturdays.” Hopefully Dave, Pos and Maseo will bring the same energy to their set at the Great GoogaMooga food festival in Brooklyn tomorrow. You can also catch the trio on the road this summer alongside fellow legends LL Cool J, Ice Cube and Public Enemy on the Kings of the Mic tour.
