As we all know, Kanye West is a big reason Chief Keef is where he is today and now, Keef has confirmed that he will be featured on Kanye’s forthcoming album Yeezus. In the interview, Keef says he is on the album but did not remember the name of the record. This interview was conducted by EME after Keef launched his limited edition Beats By Dre headphones at the Beats store in New York City.
Yeezy season has officially arrived and the content has been pouring out in unique ways over the past couple days. After premiering Black Skinhead and New Slaves on SNL last night, Kanye gives us something to wake up to – the official artwork for his upcoming 6th studio album Yeezus. The artwork is exactly what you would expect from Kanye, very weird and controversial (since it looks like a face with hair blowing to the left and a face inside the hair). The LP is set to drop on June 18th.
Update: Here is the official album cover/casing. There is no cover or booklet. There will be a sticker on the reverse of the package with the tracklist.
Kanye West is the king of controversy and unusual antics when it comes to music and here is something else odd about his upcoming album Yeezus. According to A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou and the image he tweeted, the album will not be taking pre-orders. The poster-like image also encourages people to “please purchase” the album on June 18th. This strategy is similar to what Kanye and Jay-Z did with their Watch The Throne album, which did not leak. Another thing you may have noticed on the image is the a CD cover for the album. Interesting.
