Yeezus by Kanye West


Listen Later

Kanye West’s Yeezus is an album that defies convention, pushing the boundaries of genre, lyricism and sound. Released in 2013, it marked a radical departure from the lush, maximalist production of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and the soul-sampling warmth of 2004’s The College Dropout. Instead, Yeezus embraces harsh, industrial beats, minimalist aesthetics,and abrasive, confrontational themes. It’s polarising, intentionally provocative and raw in a way that no other Kanye West album had been before or has been since.
