'Yeezus' Kanye West New Album Release Date & Tracklist
Kanye West's new album Yezzus will be hitting shelves this coming week.
The rapper's sixth album is set for a June 18 release and the projected tracklisting has already been leaked online. According to International Digital Times, the 10-track album will feature the following songs.
1. On Sight
2. Black Skinhead
3. I Am a God Featuring God
4. New Slaves
5. Hold My Liquor Feat. Chief Keef
6. I'm In It
7. Blood on the Leaves
8. Guilt Trip
9. Send It Up
10. Bound 2
Fan's first got a taste of the album in mid-May when West projected a video for New Slaves on buildings around the world. Rumored guest talents on the new record include Frank Ocean on New Slaves, Chief Keef on Hold My Liquor, Daft Punk, and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, according to EW.
The album was played for various press and celebrities this past Monday at Milk Studios in Manhatten. However, there is still comparatively little known about the album considering Billboard predicted that Yezzus will sell 500,000 copies in its first week alone. The estimated sales may not be that far off when compared to the 496,000 copies sold during 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
One of the aspects that seems to be generating the most buzz, however, is West's sampling of Billie Holiday's lynching-centric Strange Fruit. Listeners will have a lot to discover for themselves come next Tuesday.
