The work will include features from Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Travis Scott and 2 Chainz, among others.
Kanye West announced the second part of his gospel album JESUS IS KING 2 back in November 2019. In the announcement on Now the album was leaked four years later.
JESUS IS KING 2 was created in collaboration with Dr. Dre and contains 15 tracks. According to the US online magazine “HipHopDX”, these are mainly remixes of songs from the first album. However, there are said to be some guest appearances on the new tracks – Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “This Is The Glory”, “Blood of the Lamb” with rapper Pusha T, A$AP Ferg appears on “LA Monster” and “Our King” was created with Dre and 2 Chainz. Eminem, Travis Scott, Anderson .Paak and Marsha Ambrosius are also said to have contributed.
West spoke about working with Dre and the creation of the work on social media in 2019. “Jesus Is King is my first clean album,” the controversial artist wrote on X. And further: “I spent all my time mixing my beats as well as Dr. Dr. Who would have thought that all I had to do was make an album for God and then Dr. Dre start mixing my beats? Spend your time with God and He will take care of the rest.”
Ye is reportedly currently working on new music, although he currently does not have a record label or publishing deal. West left Universal and Sony Music after his contracts expired, which roughly coincided with his anti-Semitic comments last year. Because of these questionable statements, not only did he receive criticism from his colleagues, his advertising partner Adidas also kept their distance.
As early as March 2023, Kanye West is said to have initiated legal action against the Instagram account @DaUnreleasedGod. The rapper accuses the unknown person behind the social media profile of violating confidentiality agreements and is suing him or her for a total of 32 leaks of his unreleased music. The account is now no longer accessible.
