Kanye West has announced that his new album will be out this November- which will mean he avoids a chart battle with 50 Cent.

On his blog the rap-superstar revealed his fourth LP 808s And Heartache would be coming soon.

He said: 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.

An 808 is a type of synthesiser suggesting the album will take an electro direction while West has certainly suffered his heartaches this year with the death of his mother and lovelife troubles.

Kanyes record was originally due in December and would have clashed with 50 Cents Before I Self Destruct.

With Jay-Zs Blueprint 3 and new records from Eminem and Dr Dre expected this year its gonna be an exciting Autumn for rap music.
