Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West's eagerly-awaited second album has been put back from its original July release until August.

Billboard reports that 'Late Registration', the follow-up to 2004's 'The College Drop Out', will now be released on 16 August.

The tracklisting for the album has not been finalised, but West previously said that John Legend and John Mayer would appear as guests. Rapper Common told Billboard.com that he also expected to appear.

The video for the album's first single, 'Diamonds from Sierra Leone', premiered last night in the US.
