Kanye's post L.A.X. scuffle trip to Hawaiian studio has apparently paid off.

The "Love Lockdown" star is now planning to move the release of his forthcoming album "808s & Heartbreak" up a month.

"I finished the album and I felt like (moving up the date)," he wrote on his blog.

With his lead single "Love Lockdown" debuting at no.3 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, West is on the fast track to releasing another hit album.

"I want ya'll to hear it as soon as possible" the star said referring to "808s & Heartbreak."

Now arriving "November Something" according to West's blog, the album would seemingly avoid a repeat 50 Vs. Kanye battle.

At press time Def Jam had not released a statement regarding a new release date.

In related news, West's "Love Lockdown" moved 213, 000 downloads according to Nielsen Soundscan.
