Rip The Jacker II: Infinity

Rip The Jacker II: Infinity is the upcoming ninth studio album by American rapper Canibus. There is no confirmed release date, but it is believed that the album will be released sometime in 2009.
Background
In the past few years, Canibus has an assorted number of projects that have been announced, but, as of October 2007, it is largely unknown which ones will be released. It was officially reported that in 2006, Williams would release Mic Club, Vol. 2, the sequel to Mic Club: The Curriculum, as well as a sequel to Rip the Jacker. In October 2005, Dewey Cooper announced that Canibus would release a solo album on Head Trauma Records in 2006; this was to be entitled Caesar Germanicus. Canibus had gone on to state that all three albums were in production and that Caesar Germanicus would be his final release. However, it has been announced that Canibus has parted ways with both Head Trauma and Babygrande Records, as well as Mic Club Music, which may have an effect on the decision to ultimately release Caesar Germanicus and Mic Club Vol. 2. Williams also announced on the fansite Canibus-Central.com that he would be releasing an entirely new album on a newly-created independent label, InterDependent Media; the album was said to be called The 'C' of Tranquility, and while no official date has been made as of July 2008, Canibus has stated at his recent live shows that it'll be out in September.
On April 4 2007, shortly before the release of For Whom the Beat Tolls, XXL magazine released information on the previously mentioned Rip the Jacker sequel. Canibus said the album will be Rip The Jacker II: Infinity and will follow the formula of "Poet Laureate Infinity" for an entire album. Canibus went on to say that "this record is going to mimic the same format, but it's going to be for an album. So you are going to get an infinite album. And I don't know if that’s ever been done, but I'm gonna do it".
