Kanye Bumps 808s Release to "November Something"

Kanye Bumps <i>808s</i> Release to "November Something"

Now that he's got everyone buzzing after leaking the awesome-no-matter-what-anyone-else-says "Love Lockdown", Kanye West has decided to capitalize on the excitement and push forward the release of his fourth full-length, 808s and Heartbreak. Now, instead of December 16, the album will arrive on "November something."

That incredibly specific date comes courtesy of Kanye's blog. In a post titled "808s & Heartbreak coming soon....", the newly bearded MC writes, "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". What a coincidence, so do we!

Aside from the title and release "date," Kanye is still playing 808s pretty close to his chest. However, if the picture he included with the blog post [above] is any indication, perhaps we'll see Young Jeezy on the record.
