Teyana Taylor’s debut album, VII, has been officially endorsed by Kanye West, according to MTV News.
During an official listening party for the album on Monday night in Los Angeles, West gave an impromptu speech about how why Teyana’s talents are needed in today’s music climate.
“I feel like Teyana provides something that is so R&B, so black, so hood, so missing, so necessary in the marketplace,” he said before an audience that included Kim Kardashian, Chris Brown, Nelly, YG and Big Sean.
He continued, “Sometimes I don’t talk in the most politically correct whatever the type way, but I felt like I ain’t really express how proud I was, of this person, of this human being, that had the fight of this artist, that’s fighting to make something that she really feels, that really connects in this generation.”
Taylor’s VII is set to be released November 4.
