You might expect Kanye West's new album to be Rocky Mountain high on the charts... At least that seems like what he's going for.

According to TMZ, the rapper has whisked himself away to a Wyoming retreat in order to record new music.

Which is exactly why we haven't seen Kanye appear at any public events lately, or out and about in New York City or Los Angeles. He also isn't taking the opportunity to post any social media snaps from the rural landscape after cleaning out his Instagram and Twitter.

TMZ squashes any reports that Kanye might have escaped to the mountains to runaway from personal or mental dilemmas, so don’t worry about that.

Nope, his getaway is all about getting inspiration for new music.

We look forward to hearing Kanyes new frontier sound.
