Kanye West Plans New Album For Fourth Quarter

Following the recent announcement that he will be producing Jay-Z’s upcoming "Blueprint III" album, rapper and producer Kanye West has revealed he is looking to release his fourth album later this year.

While an exact release date and title for the album are yet to be confirmed, Kanye has repeatedly mentioned in the past his plan to release a fourth album entitled "A Good Ass Job" to follow his "College Dropout," "Late Registration" and "Graduation" albums.

West is also set to release a new track, which is potentially the first single from the album, via iTunes over the next few days. He has already performed the track "Love Lockdown" at his recent tour stops and is expected to do it again at this Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Kanye’s last album, 2007’s "Graduation," has sold 2.2 million copies in the United States.
