Kanye West has announced plans to release a new album.

The rapper has confirmed that he will join his fellow G.O.O.D. label acts for a collaborative LP, which is due to be released next year.

The hip-hop star returned to Twitter to simply state: "GOODMUSIC.THE ALBUM.SPRING2012."

The group of artists consist of West, John Legend, Big Sean, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Mr Hudson and Common.

G.O.O.D - an acronym for 'Getting Out Our Dreams' - was founded by West back in 2004.

Its roster of artists have grouped together in the past to release tracks as a collective, but this will be the first full-length album to be released by them as a collaborative effort.

West is currently touring the US with Jay-Z under the moniker The Throne. The pair are playing a string of gigs in support of their recent album Watch The Throne.
