Kanye West, who has been in the lab full time since wrapping up his tour with Usher, says that he is about 75 percent done with his follow up to his smash College Dropout titled Late Registration due next spring. Though so far he has been very tight lipped about the project he did say that he has a collaboration with singer John Mayer.
“I just did some stuff with Kanye in the studio that’s ridiculous,” Mayer said at last Sunday’s American Music Awards. “We have a thing on tape that’s pretty cool.”
Kanye later said “I don’t wanna give too much away. I don’t do music for the hype behind it. It’s because I really love John as an artist, I like his voice. He’s like the modern day [Doobie Brothers singer] Michael McDonald. … And me and John, we just cool, period. Like me and Common, we get in the studio and we vibe and then we make music from that point. If I can’t vibe with a person then I can’t do the song.”
But when asked who else he’s collaborating with, West then answered, “Nobody!” He has limited his workload since the tour, only reportedly spending some time in the studio with Mariah Carey. Kanye has since said that he is focused only on his own material.
