Kanye West is in good health and spirits following a 2016 breakdown, and plans to resume touring in 2018.
He's also working on a new album.
TMZ reports that there is no definitive date for the start of the tour or release of the album, because deadlines cause the G.O.O.D. Music CEO stress. Something everyone in his camp wants to avoid.
According to TMZ, West is back to his old self. He's focused, engaged and isn't displaying any of the symptoms that required him to be hospitalized.
Concert promoting giant, Live Nation, is in talks with West about tour dates and a source within the company tells TMZ, "We're ready to jump as soon as he gives the green light."

Known for his multi music influences, music producer Lord Haiti drops another banging instrumental “Roll Up.” This song gives off electronic neo- soul guitar tunes infused with a slight hip-hop bass kick.

Lord Haiti dedicates this new single to the “Thinkers” putting his fans in a chill mode.
(Yahoo Sports) The Los Angeles Clippers have reached agreement on a trade to send All-Star point guard Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets, league sources told The Vertical.
Paul, 32, agreed to opt in to the final year of his $24.2 million contract, clearing the way for the Clippers to execute a trade with the Rockets and bring back assets for Paul, league sources said.
The Rockets will send the Clippers a package that includes guards Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams, forward Sam Dekker and a 2018 first-round pick (protected Nos. 1-3), league sources told The Vertical. There are smaller parts to the deal, including non-guaranteed contracts, league sources said.
Paul had until Wednesday to opt out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent.
Had Paul opted out of his contract, he could’ve signed a new deal that started at $34 million a year. Paul will now be eligible to sign a five-year, $205 million maximum extension with the Rockets.
Paul had a strong desire to play with Rockets All-Star guard James Harden, which led to the Clippers working out a trade with Houston, league sources said. Los Angeles was able to secure several tradable assets and a draft pick in the deal. The Clippers risked losing Paul for nothing in free agency.
Paul and Harden discussed the possibility of a partnership at length, believing they can find a way to thrive together, league sources said.
Paul is a nine-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA player and a nine-time All-Defensive team member. He played six seasons with Los Angeles after six seasons with New Orleans. For his career, Paul has averaged 18.7 points, 9.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
"We love Prodigy, all of us. We lost a true Legend of Hip Hop, a true emcee. Havoc and Prodigy both were advanced beyond their years, some emcees don't get good until they're 25, but at 19 the kid was already nice." - RZA (0:18)
"Me and Prodigy had a relationship for over 20 years. He had a good ear for beats, I always told him, his ear for beats was golden. That's my family right there. We 'gon hold his Legacy down." - Raekwon (1:08)
"Music is music, we come from an era where you had to have dope lyrics, but we don't discriminate. They can co-exist. I bet the guys who's doing it, they didn't call it mumble rap. Let them make their music and have fun." - RZA (2:42)
"To anybody out there who's sipping on that syrup that's making you mumble, leave the syrup alone. That syrup make you mumble." - RZA (2:42)
