Kanye West New Album

School is OVERRRR n I got a good job booked so I couldn't think of an even greater way 2 start up the blog 4 the summer season than 2 talk about my fav artist n da whole wide world, Kanye West and his next album Good Ass Job. Below r some articles about the new album and my fav song by Mr.West, "Peace".



Despite previous indications that it would drop in June, new reports reveal that Kanye West's next projects might not hit stores until September.

According to TheHipHopUpdate.com, Ye's album, tentatively titled Good-Ass Job, may be pushed back to the fall release date. The report comes from an attendee at the Island Def Jam Grammy U. event on Wednesday (May 12). No further specifics were given regarding the release date, though it appears that the album certainly won't be dropping next month.

Other tidbits from the event revealed a September release date for Ne-Yo, and that Los Angeles rapper Y.G. "will be a focus of Def Jam in the near future."

Details remain scarce about Kanye West's Good Ass Job, but apparently it is his best hip-hop record yet. At least, that's what Drake implied in an interview with GQ Magazine. And it's likely that Yeezy is making his return to hip-hop and leaving the Auto-Tune behind after 808s & Heartbreaks. But don't be surprised if the vocal effect makes an appearance here or there as it's been featured on every one of his albums in some way or another. Good Ass Job, which finishes Kanye's "college series," is set to feature Big Sean, who confirmed his guest spot via Twitter. It's also likely we'll see frequent collaborators like Common and Mos Def along with newcomers such as Drake and KiD CuDi. The album will also include beats from outside producers, something West had done before. This time around, he will be joined by RZA, Pete Rock, and DJ Premier, the last of whom provided scratches on "Everything I Am" off Graduation.
