Kanye West New Album 2013 News Update: 'Yeezus' Tracklist Leaked?
Even with Kanye West's voluntary lack of promotion for Yeezus, the album's official tracklist has reportedly been leaked.
A Swedish website posted the tracklist on Friday revealing that West's upcoming sixth studio album will feature 10 songs.
The only confirmed tracks that appear on the supposed tracklist are On Sight, Black Skinhead, I Am A God and New Slaves. West performed all four songs at the 2013 Governor's Ball in Randall's Island, N.Y. on June 9. Watch those performances here.
Additional songs include I'm In It, Blood On the Leaves, Guilt Trip, Send It Up and Bound 2.
The song Hold My Liquor is also listed and it has reportedly leaked online the same day as the tracklist. Listen to the track here.
MTV stated on Friday that West's sixth solo album will feature collaborations with Frank Ocean, Chief Keef and singer Justin Vernon. Also, Kid Cudi, who was once signed to West's G.O.O.D. Music label, will appear on the song Guilt Trip.
It's difficult to assume, however, that the leaked elements will affect West's album's sales. Each of the rapper's previous five albums have gone multi-platinum. In addition, all of them, except for his debut, College Dropout, have debuted at No. 1 on Billboard. Still, West hasn't confirmed any of the information regarding Yeezus, which hits stores on June 18.
He has, however, spoken about what the album will sound like. As Enstars previously reported, the rapper told The New York Times in a June 11 interview that he was focused on a "deep Chicago influence" and that several of the songs are infused with house music.
In the same interview, he also defined his current position in the music world comparing himself to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
"You know, if Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, 'This is wrong,'" he said in reference to not receiving awards he feels he's deserved in the past.
