Kanye West to release a new album this year

Kanye West will reportedly release his sixth solo album later this year. The rapper, who has been touring his Watch The Throne record with Jay-Z, is currently working on the release of the G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer, which features artists signed to his label.

Def Jam vice president and multiplatinum producer No I.D. told MTV that West hopes to drop his next studio record after Cruel Summer's release. "He's coming right after that," said No I.D., who produced Jay-Z's 'Run This Town' and Big Sean's 'My Last'. "I'm not working on that [Cruel Summer] album, I'm working on his album.

"This is Kanye. You know what to expect from the family. He hasn't missed yet, so don't expect him to miss. It's what you expect and everything you don't expect."

Another Jay-z and Kanye collaboration in 2012?

Jay-Z reveals to MTV that Ye and him might be releasing solo albums, followed by another Watch The Throne album, all in 2012.

"It depends on how this thing finishes up," Jay said in reference to his and Kanye’s current Watch the Throne Tour. "We," I say ‘we’ because I’m in Throne mode -- we’re in a great place creatively. You might see a Jay, then Kanye and a Throne album next year. You know, we’re really in a great place creatively. We really found our zone."

Every Kanye West sample

Some would say this makes Kanye look worse, but I disagree. If you look at a wide range of music he samples from, I think it shows that he has an appreciation for all genres of music and integrates them well into his rap songs.



In related news, Kanye announced on Twitter that he will release more music in Spring 2012:
