US rapper Kanye West will definitely be releasing a full length album before 2009, according to the artist’s management. It will be his fourth studio album since 2004.

Although there is no official title for the album yet, Kanye has said that it will be in theme with previous records. Track “Love Lockdown“, which the popular artist has been preforming live, is rumoured to be the first single that will be released.

Kanye West has also confirmed that he will be closing this year’s MTV Awards (Los Angeles) on September 8th, coming as a surprise after vowing never to appear on the channel again after losing out on five of his nominations last year.
