Rapper-singer Kanye West has announced two new albums both releasing in June.

After returning to Twitter from an 11-month absence, the Grammy award-winning musician tweeted that the first album will be released on June 1 and will feature just seven songs and the second LP will be a collaboration with Kid Cudi called 'Kids See Ghost'.

The announcement comes after the rapper tweeted that he is penning a philosophy book that is set to be called "Break the Simulation".

West's last album 'The Life of Pablo' was released in 2016, featuring guest appearances from Rihanna, Chris Brown and Frank Ocean.

The rapper, however, has kept a relatively low profile since cancelling the last 21 dates of the 2016 tour in support of the album after he was hospitalised in Los Angeles for psychiatric evaluation.

Not much is known about the new album, which he said in March 2016 would be called 'Turbo Grafx 16' after 'one of my favourite gaming systems when I was a kid'.
