One of Kanye’s mentors, No. I.D. recently revealed to Billboard that Jay-Z has in fact started work on his next solo LP. We first heard about the project this summer at SXSW, thanks to Young Guru.

“Jay has started again,” reveals No I.D., who worked with the hip-hop superstar on “Blueprint 3″ hits like “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” and “Run This Town.” “He played me a couple of things. I gave him some music while we were at the ‘Watch the Throne’ sessions. But with Jay, you never know what he’s really doing, thinking, planning until it’s really done… I’m sure he’ll make a decision one day to make an album very quickly, like he usually does. He’s one of the best, period. I think he’s at a place where he has visions of what he wants to do, and it’s not really dependent on any of us. It’s dependent on his vision and he’s gonna do it, [and] hopefully I’ll be involved.”

Detail says he’s producing for Kanye’s next album after the jump…


Producer Detail, who was behind Wayne’s “How to Love” beat, says he will be working with Kanye West on his new album.
