Kanye West Actually Dropped ‘Jesus Is Born’ On Christmas Day
True to his word, Kanye West dropped his Sunday Service choir's Jesus Is Born album on Christmas day. JIB follows up Jesus Is King, but unlike that record, this project arrived without delay. Stream it below.
The selection of gospel songs, performed by the Sunday Service choir, was executive produced by West. It includes songs such as “Ultralight Beam,” and “Follow Me - Faith,” which he and the group have performed live during his weekly services.
West announced the album back in October during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music’s Beats 1. But given the continuous delays to Jesus Is King, fans were skeptical of the December 25 deadline.
West has also announced a sequel to JIK with Dr. Dre. He tweeted, “Ye and Dre Jesus is King Part II coming soon,” along with a picture of himself in the studio with Dre.
