The Life of Pablo wasn’t the only thing Kanye West premiered at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. 

The rapper and designer surprised fans with a trailer for a video game he’s working on about his late mother, professor Donda West, ascending to heaven. It’s called Only One: The Game

After the clip played, West shared some thoughts with the crowd: 

I feel, a lot of times, I get misunderstood just as an artist. Cause y’all see so many artists be controlled by corporations, or public perception, or their current finances, or whatever—and if you’re gonna be an artist you just gotta do what’s in your heart. Fight for every dream that you may dream, whatever discipline it may be. No one can tell you what field to stay in.

There’s no word yet about whether it’s a computer game, a video game, or some combination. Or maybe he’s getting into apps, like wife Kim Kardashian
