Kanye Blogs
Kanye’s new single “Love Lockdown” has been sitting sweet on the charts, (it’s been downloaded over 200,000 times since its initial release) so he has now decided to announce on his personal blog that he will be pushing up the date for his next album 808’s & Heartbreak.
Kanye writes:
“I CHANGED MY ALBUM (release) TO NOVEMBER SOMETHING CAUSE I FINISHED THE ALBUM AND I FELT LIKE IT.. I WANT YALL TO HEAR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.”
He debuted his first single during the MTV Video Music Award earlier this month, and was initially set to release the album in December. Had he dropped the album as originally planned, it would have possibly set up a showdown with 50 Cent or Jay Z. Guess he didn’t want that!
Along with wrapping up his album, he is also working on tracks for Jay-Z’s next studio album, “The Blueprint 3.”
