September 14 came and went without big record releases from the likes of Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music label crew. So where do the album releases stand now? Kanye’s hotly anticipated album (still yet-to-be-titled) will drop November 16. The two singles out now are “Power” & “Runaway.” Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager will release a week earlier on November 9. The lone single from Cudder’s album is “Erase Me.” The Roots-produced John Legend record Wake Up! is due on September 21; listen to the first single “Wake Up Everybody” (Featuring Common and Melanie Fiona) for a taste. Consequence’s ConsTV, Tony Williams’ King or The Fool, and Big Sean’s Finally Famous are unfortunately stamped with TBD. In the interim, however, you can download Big Sean’s latest mixtape Finally Famous Vol. 3: BIG. And finally, rapper GLC’s Love, Life & Loyalty is expected to release this fall. In related G.O.O.D. Music news, Pusha T of the Clipse has formally announced his integration with the label.
At the MTV Video Music Awards Kanye West debuted (what we can only assume is) the second single off his upcoming yet-to-be-titled album. It’s called “Runaway”, it features Pusha T (of the Clipse), preview and download it below. (FYI–this is CDQ, not the live televised version).
In related ‘Ye news.. During the VMA pre-show MTV aired a trailer for his “movie companion” to the album. It’s a brief look into what he’s been up to in Prague; there’s deer, a feathered woman, and a title card that reads “Runaway.” Things are still up in the air as to how it will tie into the LP, but I like what I see so far. Look after the break to watch the trailer.

You know the drill. Another Friday comes along, ‘Ye publishes a new track. The appropriately titled “Good Friday” features vocal stylings from fellow G.O.O.D. Music artists Common, Kid Cudi, and Big Sean. Pusha T is expected to be inducted into Kanye’s music label any day now (update: it’s official), and famed soul artist Charlie Wilson is just coming for the ride. (Uncle Charlie reprises his role from the terrific “See Me Now” track.) Preview and download below. Note: Kanye’s blog is currently “under construction.” In its place is a new portal that provides you with cover art and download links for all G.O.O.D. Friday songs dropped to date. And speaking of cover art, this week’s is too much NFSW to post on the homepage, so click after the break to see it in full.
