Kanye West will bring out his sixth solo album "right after" G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer is released.
The "Stronger" hitmaker is likely to release the record before the end of the year, with the target being for it to quickly follow his collective's compilation LP into stores. "He's coming right after that. I'm not working on that Cruel Summer album, I'm working on his album," said Def Jam Vice President and producer No I.D.
Though No I.D. isn't working on Cruel Summer - which features artists including Big Sean, Pusha T, CyHi the Prynce, Common, Kid Cudi, Teyana Taylor, Mr. Hudson and Q-Tip - he promises fans will enjoy the record: "This is Kanye. You know what to expect from the family. He hasn't missed yet, so don't expect him to miss."
There's no word yet as to the title of Kanye's upcoming album.

Jay-Z Begins Working on New Album

Jay-Z has started working on a new album. The "99 Problems" rapper only released his Watch the Throne album with Kanye West last month, but producer No I.D. said he's already started work on his next studio album.
"Jay has started again. He played me a couple of things. I gave him some music while we were at the Watch the Throne sessions. But with Jay, you never know what he's really doing, thinking, planning until it's really done. I'm sure he'll make a decision one day to make an album very quickly, like he usually does. I think he's at a place where he has visions of what he wants to do, and it's not really dependent on any of us. It's dependent on his vision and he's gonna do it, and hopefully I'll be involved," No I.D. said.
No I.D. and Jay have previously worked together on tracks including "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" and "Run This Town." The producer is also working with rappers Nas and Common on their respective albums, and said they are hoping to "revive" hip hop: "We're really trying to revive a certain part of hip-hop that seems to be fading out. They're gonna be full bodies of work that are really dedicated to the fan base."
