Rumor: Kanye West to release new album ‘Black American Psycho’ next month?

UPDATE: This is fake. The website currently reads:

This website is in no way affiliated with Def Jam Records or Kanye West. The Black American Psycho title and the 10.23.2012 release date are fictitious. I apologise for misleading people, I did not expect the site to generate so much traffic and be taken seriously.


A new teaser website from Kanye West has popped up seemingly out of the blue. We’re still trying to verify its authenticity (the WHO-IS record says it’s registered to Def Jam but the email address listed leaves us skeptical), so don’t jump to conclusions quite yet. Admittedly we’re extremely excited by the prospect of a new Kanye West album release as soon as next month.

If it is indeed real my bet is that it’s a single intended for his next studio album. We still haven’t seen the Cruel Summer movie yet (look out for our review later this week) so it’s possible that this is a reworked version of that. Let’s see…

What do you think? Is this real, and if so what awaits us on October 23rd? Let us know in the comments below.
