Kanye West Preps New Album, Faces Lawsuit

Kanye West can't go three months without staying out of the spotlight. But he likes it that way and so do we.

According to a report from Billboard, Kanye is held up in his Hawaiian home and recording studio putting the finishing touches on his latest album currently titled Good Ass Job. The album, rumored to be released in June, will be the rapper's first effort since 2008's sombre 808s and Heartbreak. 


Some of the guest rappers on the record will be Q-Tio-p, RZA of the Wu-Tan Clang and Pete Rock.

News of Kanye's progress in the studio comes with pending legal drama as well.

Suge Knight, infamous hip-hop bad guy and Death Row records founder, has successfully scheduled a December court date with West stemming from a 2005 incident were Knight was shot in the leg at a party hosted by West. Knight is seeking $1 million in damages.

Skeptics have said this is a final effort by Knight, who filed for bankruptcy in 2006, to escape his financial situation.
