Kanye West Finally Dropped Jesus Is King — Hear The Album Now

Well, will you look at that? Kanye West's Jesus Is King is out right now on streaming services.


There was some worry and understandable apprehension earlier today (October 25) once the album didn't come out at midnight, as Kanye himself had said it would earlier this week. Yet it's finally here and features appearances from Ty Dolla $ign, the Clipse, Kenny G, Fred Hammond, and Ant Clemmons. It clocks in at 11 tracks and 27 minutes and is a gospel-centric collective ode to Kanye's Christian faith. You could breathe again now. Jesus Is King is really here.





Jesus Is King was originally slated to come out on September 27 right after Kim Kardashian-West teased the LP's release, info later confirmed by Kanye's website. Although the day came and went, and Kim later mentioned that the LP could be two days late. Right after it didn't drop then either, there was radio silence up until several days prior, any time Kanye revealed on Twitter that he'd be dropping Jesus Is King on October 25.


This morning, immediately following the release time came and went, Kanye tweeted that he was making some last-minute changes to the LP. "We are specially fixing mixes on 'Everything We Need,' 'Follow God' & 'Water,' he wrote. "We not going to sleep up until this album is out!"


Hours (of sleep? Of frantic last-minute tweaks?) Passed by while fans waited patiently, only for nothing to materialize. Then rapper and producer Consequence hopped on Twitter to tell fans that it could be out around noon. "It takes 8 hours for the LP to ingest into the Digital Streaming Platforms," he wrote. "I didn't eat dinner and also you guys could have this by Lunch time 12/1pm EST."


Now that it's here, Kanye fans can breathe a sigh of belief because, at one point, no one knew if it would come out at all. It's almost time to go to church with Kanye.
