On the heels of 50 Cent’s new scrapbook-like publication arriving in stores, his music rival Kanye West has announced that he will make his literary debut early next year with a book titled “Thank You and You’re Welcome.”

The rapper/producer describes his work as an “entertaining volume of ‘Kanye-isms’ — the creative, humorous and insightful philosophies and anecdotes used in creating my path to success. It captures the same wit, playful irony and piercing insight found abundant in my lyrics.”

Co-authored by Sakiya Sandifer, the book will be available for $10 and pre-orders are currently being filled via his Web site, www.kanyeunivercity.com.

“In ‘Thank You And You’re Welcome!’ I deliver my personal message uncensored, without any five-second delay or media distortion,” wrote West on his blog.

The artist’s mother, Dr. Donda West, released a book titled “Raising Kanye: Life Lessons From The Mother of A Hip-Hop Superstar,” which reflects on the things she’s learned by being his mother.
