Kanye West is gearing up to launch a chain of Fatburger fast-food restaurants in his hometown of Chicago, according to Chicago Business.

His company, KW Foods LLC, has bought the rights to develop ten Fatburger restaurants in the Chicago area, with the first opening in September in Orland Park.

The second will follow in January, while a third location is yet to be revealed, although they are in the process of finalizing the lease.

On the music front, as West winds down on the promotion of his latest album, Graduation, he continues his work in the studio.

He is reportedly working with Jay-Z on his impending Blueprint 3 album. So far, one track has leaked. It is titled "Jockin' Jay-Z."

It is rumored that West will produce the bulk of the release, although nothing has been confirmed.
