Kanye premiered "New Slaves" from the upcoming album, titled Yeezus, by projecting videos around the world. He also performed the track, and another one called "Black Skinhead", on Saturday Night Live. Earlier this month Kanye teased us with another new song titled "I am a God" and hinted that the album would be released on June 18th. Hot 97 revealed that West's label Def Jam recently hosted a listening event for the album, the rapper's sixth solo offering, with DJ Paul Rosenberg saying: "Everyone at the label that listened to the album loved it. I've heard it's dark, but really good."
Skrillex, Odd Future and Daft Punk are all rumored to be collaborating on the album. "It was very raw: he was rapping – kind of screaming primally, actually," said Thomas from Daft Punk. More news to follow about this summers biggest hiphop release. Watch "New Slaves" being projected below. iTunes accidently post the track list for the album, and has since been removed. But we managed to get a hold of it - And have included it below.
Recently, Daft Punk confirmed that they co-wrote the track "Skinhead". Meanwhile, rapper Chief Keef has recently confirmed that he guests on 'Yeezus' - but can't remember the name of the track he appears on.
Kanye had some good production on this but the style was wierd and didnt touch the production from his previous album. Dissapointing. J cole had some crazy production on Born Sinner and better verses
I’ve seen some pretty shitty reviews that this album is just horrible random beats and crappy lyrics. I’m really hoping this isn’t going to be the case.
im sorry but this album is straight butt.
i heard it, Born Sinner is better
U Heard right.
im still a Ye fan tho
This is a good album , the creativity was amazing Nd also puts you on edge , Ill buy.
Ok so I’ve listened to the album once over now. By far my favorite song on it is ‘Hold my liquor’. Just love the bass, beat and feel of that song. Other than than I’m not really “feeling” any other songs, other than parts of songs here and there. Others might grow on me with a few more listens, but right now it’s a fairly underwhelming album.
Awesome album. Once again.
itunes version includes SNL performances of New Slaves and Black Skinhead
Does anybody has any info about the deluxe edition?
I’ve read that there will be 4 extra tracks (seems that one of them will feature Skrillex) but nothing about the release date, producers, featurings etc.
Kanye sucks
Pretty good album.
This album is seriously my favorite Kanye album
Ok
