Kanye West Confirms Everything You Already Know About 'Yeezus'

kanye-west-5-24-13

Kanye West has confirmed that the robotic-duo of the moment, Daft Punk, will appear on his highly-anticipated album Yeezus, which drops next week. (Can you feel the excitement?) The rapper also revealed that Chief Keef and Bon Iver‘s Justin Vernon are expected to appear on the same song titled “Can’t Handle My Liquor.”

All of this sort-of new information got out from a Yeezus listening session Monday night at New York’s Milk Studios. During the session, West confirmed that Daft Punk worked on three or so songs. He also shared a track that combines TNGHT’s “R U Ready” with Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit.”

Rick Rubin was also revealed as an executive producer on the album. West said:

“It was good for me to go to the god, Rick Rubin, and play him my shit, ask him questions, and allow him to take this project to an entirely new level, and he made a lot of great decisions at the end and pulled it to a whole new level.”

During the event, West also spoke about the tone of the album saying that his team “just wanted to make the best product possible.”

“This is just the beginning of an entire new mentality about how to make music.”

The rapper also shared a handful of new tracks during his 21-song Governors Ball set on Sunday night (June 9). He performed a new track titled “Black Skinhead,” which you can check out below. Yeezus is out June 18.

Are you excited about the new album? Or are you already over the whole thing?
