Just in the last few months, Kanye’s gone from wilding all over FYF to running for president at the VMAs; from “808s” at the Bowl to, now, a theater near you.

The rapper/pop culture lodestar has announced Yeezy Season Two, a followup to the first installment of his eponymous fashion line in collaboration with Adidas.

The show will be live-streamed to movie theaters Wednesday (hitting Los Angeles and other cities worldwide all at once). It follows last year’s debut of his Yeezy collection, where the very meme-able Yeezy 750 Boost shoe also made its first appearance on the big screen.

The collection, though anemically received in high fashion circles, did mark his debut as a New York Fashion Week fixture on the runway, and fulfilled a longtime goal of the MC to transition more fully into design. The sudden announcement of Season 2 has thrown some confusion into the scheduling at NYFW, as it will certainly be one of the most celebrity-packed events of the week.

For fans of his music, the last live-broadcast set also included the debut of a new single, the Sia and Vic Mensa-featuring “Wolves,” and given the wide scope of his output lately, it wouldn’t be surprising if new material popped up here as well.
