Kanye West Announces New Album 'Yeezus'

posted in: Music News • Urban

Chicago-bred emcee Kanye West has finally confirmed long-gestating rumors that a new album was right around the corner by announcing the forthcoming release of Yeezus.

Making a not-so-slight reference to religion, which plays into the rumors he’ll release a single called “I Am God,” the latest offering from Kanye West is expected to hit shelves June 18. The first single from the effort, which has the equally controversial title “New Slaves,” can be streamed below.

Kanye introduced his latest material in a fashion on fitting his own out of control ego. On Friday, West premiered his new single and video ˜New Slaves’ by projecting it on 66 buildings across the world. Seriously. Footage of one of those projects can also be found at the end of this post.
