Kanye West will release his fourth studio album, 808’s and Heartbreak, a little sooner than expected. The rapper posted a very short entry on his blog:
I CHANGED MY ALBUM TO NOVEMBER SOMETHING CAUSE I FINISHED THE ALBUM AND I FELT LIKE IT.. I WANT YALL TO HEAR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.”
No word on if the album, originally scheduled for a December 16 release, is going to exclusively feature the auto-tuned vocals heard on the single “Love Lockdown,” as is rumored.
In related news, a one minute clip of Kanye’s new Comedy Central puppet-show pilot titled “Alligator Boots” has leaked online. So that’s what “hip-hop meets the Muppets” looks like. You can check out the clip here.
