In addition to crafting tracks for Jay-Z’s upcoming album, “Blueprint III,” Kanye West is hatching the release of his own as-yet-untitled album, according to his management.
West initially named his fourth album “Good Ass Job” several years ago, to follow the thread of “College Dropout,” “Late Registration” and “Graduation”; however, an official title has yet to be confirmed.
Still, the LP may well hit shelves this fourth quarter and management says West is seriously contemplating that timeline. Most recently, the MC has been performing a new track called “Love Lockdown,” which is rumored to be his first single.
MTV also announced West as a performer on the upcoming Video Music Awards. This announcement follows the MC’s vow to never perform on the VMA’s again after his performance was relegated to a side stage instead of the production’s main hall. The Video Music Awards air September 7.
West's label Def Jam was unavailable for comment.
