Kanye West’s forthcoming album, "Graduation," is coming sooner than expected. The album, originally due in September, has been pushed slightly ahead to a late August release, according to Def Jam.

West leaked the news through a recently released, 25-track Internet mixtape called "Can’t Tell Me Nothing," which features him rapping over such intriguing samples as Daft Punk’s "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and Peter Bjorn & John’s indie hit "Young Folks."

Yeah you read it right, his last album. In an interview with QD3.com game explained why he want to quit.

I think I speak for a lot of hip hop fans if I say ”Game made hip hop a lot more fun and interesting when he was around. And I think that almost nobody wants him to leave the hip hop game. He sounds really emotional. Check out the video with a clip of the interview (click on ”Show All…”)
