Kanye West is officially working on his next album.
According to Billboard.com, the rapper/producer is plotting the release of his fourth as-yet-titled album, his management said.
Although West originally said that his fourth album would be titled Good Ass Job, to follow the theme of his albums to date -- College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation -- an official title for the upcoming album is yet to be confirmed.
"I made the College Dropout, and now Late Registration. [Next is] MU and then what you get after that [is a] Good Ass Job," Kanye giggled, when he told us this back in 2005. "Late Registration is basically The Dynasty, and Graduation will be The Blueprint."
However, it may see a release date by year's end, his management tells Billboard, because West is "seriously contemplating that timeline."
As of late, the rapper has been performing a new track called "Love Lockdown," which is rumored to be his first single and to be hitting iTunes in a matter of days.
The new album would follow behind West's Graduation, which dropped in September 2007, and has sold 2.2 million.
