I might change it again but that’s the name now — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 3, 2015
On February 28th, Yeezy declared the album title to be So Help Me God.SWISH first made an appearance on March 16th, when he tweeted screenshots of his wife Kim K’s implied nude photoshoot, along with the blanket statement “I’M SO LUCKY.” Could she be the inspiration for the new title?
In typical Kanye West fashion, the rapper held an impromptu concert on Sunday night midnight (local time) at Swan Lake (known as Karapi Lich) in Yereven, Armenia. After sight-seeing for a few days with his wife, daughter, and sister-in-law, it seems that Kanye needed to find a way to end his trip with a bang. Kim K advertised the free show on Twitter and the madness ensued. Thousands of fans showed up to the makeshift stage to watch Kanye perform the short set that included “Stronger”, “Jesus Walks,” “Power,” “Touch the Sky” and “All of the Lights.”
When he noticed that part of the crowd couldn’t see him, ‘Ye just couldn’t let that fly. When Yeezy started on “Good Life”, he jumped into the lake so they could see him and the crowd went wild. Hundreds of fans jumped in with him, dancing around and living the good life, much to the dismay of the Armenian police. They jumped in, surrounded and dragged Kanye away from the group of fans that were scrambling to get a picture or five with him. Needless to say, the show was cut short. The look on his face as he was being escorted away was priceless. As much of walking controversy as he is, his love for his fans and getting down and dirty has never been more clearly showcased.

Vic Mensa has been making a name for himself through Save Money. So much so Kanye West himself has seemed to adopt him as his new protege. In this new single “U Mad”, Kanye hops in to help his lil’ bro out on this hard hitting new track. You can listen to “U Mad” below.
Kanye West brought out Big Sean, Vic Mensa, CyHi The Prince, Skepta, and Raekwon at a performance at the KOKO in London last night. Fresh off his SNL debut, courtesy of Kanye, Vic Mensa also premiered a new song with Mr. West called “Why U Mad.” Check out footage from the show below.
The countdown to February 24th is on, and Big Sean has given his fans some previews of his new album Dark Sky Paradise to hold them over until its official release. “Win Some, Lose Some” features Jhené Aiko and includes her typical smooth crooning over Big Sean’s lyrics. “One Man Can Change The World” is an uplifting track over beautiful piano, supported by equally beautiful vocals from John Legend and Kanye West. It also includes a touching excerpt of a conversation between Big Sean and his grandmother at the end of the track. If the rest of the album is anything like these two tracks, we can’t wait to hear more. Listen to the two tracks below.
