Kanye West Gets a Release Date

After a summer full of tweets and free music, Kanye West is finally giving fans what they’ve been waiting for. The platinum-selling rapper has selected an official release date for his much-anticipated new album.

Rap-Up.com has learned that Yeezy will drop his still untitled fifth effort on November 22. This is typically one of the biggest release weeks of the year and the Monday before Black Friday when U.S. shoppers flock to stores to get a head start on their holiday shopping.

The week is shaping up to be a monster with albums from Ne-Yo (Libra Scale), Flo Rida (The Only 1), Nicki Minaj (Pink Friday), Akon (Akonic), and Lloyd Banks (H.F.M. 2) currently slated for release. Check our calendar to see who else is coming this fall.

The follow-up to 2008’s 808s & Heartbreak has spawned the singles “POWER” and “Runaway,” for which ‘Ye shot a 40-minute video in Prague starring supermodel Selita Ebanks. The song will be available October 4 on iTunes.

Kanye will continue to release free music every Friday until Christmas as part of his G.O.O.D. Friday campaign. Just last week, he gifted fans with “So Appalled,” a collaboration with RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz, and Cyhi the Prynce.

Lil Wayne And Swizz Beatz Plan "Stan" Sequel

Eminem rejected Swizz Beatz’s sequel to ‘Stan’, but Lil Wayne will do it on a star-studded new album.

Superstar hip hop producer and Mr Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, recently revealed that he supplied beats to Eminem for a proposed sequel to his smash hit ‘Stan’

But Eminem wasn’t into the idea, so Swizz is putting it on his own album, with Lil Wayne providing the lyrics.

He says it will remain a ‘Stan’ sequel, called ‘Anne’,

Swizz said to MTV: “… taking something that people remember and putting them in that time and taking it to the next level, the way that Wayne tells Anne he’s sorry what happened to Stan. The album is crazy.”

Swizz’s forthcoming album, Haute Living, will feature a cavalcade of guests, including his wife, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Coldplay, John Legend, Drake, Kanye West, Ludacris, LL Cool J, Method Man, Redman, Busta Rhymes, André 3000, Snoop Dogg, Mos Def, Pharrell and T.I.

The album is due out later this year.
