After a series of delays, Kanye West finally blesses the masses with his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King. The religious-themed project coincides with accompanying film, Jesus Is King, at selected IMAX theaters.
Dubbed initially as Yandhi, and recorded in Wyoming much like previous Ye in 2018, Jesus Is King draws inspiration from his ongoing weekly gospel-theme performance series, Sunday Service. Presented with 11 tracks, guest features include the Clipse, Kenny G, Ty Dolla $ign, Ant Clemons, the Sunday Service Choir and Fred Hammond.
Since the first Sunday of this year, Kanye has performed gospel arrangements of his discography and other songs with his band and choir, The Samples. In front of a massive cult-like setting, Ye has held his Sunday Service mass throughout the country including Calabasas, Coachella, Chicago, Wyoming, D.C., Jamaica, and more, with attendances from DMX, KiD CuDi, A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator, and more.
During his interview with Zane Lowe, Kanye announced the follow-up, Jesus Is Born, to arrive on Christmas. Amen.
