Kanye West is reportedly holed up on a remote mountain top while he records his brand new album.

The US rapper, who was noticeably absent from the Met Ball in New York last week, is thought to be busy working on new material in Wyoming.

After cutting short his Life of Pablo tour at the end of last year, West has stayed tight-lipped about his next musical project.

But according to TMZ, the superstar is currently having recording sessions at a mountain retreat, where he’s been spending two weeks at a time over the last few months.

The Famous hitmaker is thought to have shunned studios in New York and Los Angeles in a bid to keep all details about his new music under wraps.

West sparked concern last week when he deactivated both his Twitter and his Instagram accounts in the wake of his no-show at the Met Ball.

Earlier in the year he deleted a series of pro-Trump tweets after publically meeting with the President of the United States at Trump Towers.

The star was hospitalised back in November last year following an on-stage meltdown during one of his shows in Sacramento.

He remained at the UCLA Medical Center for a week, during which he cancelled all of his remaining tour dates.
