This week the highly anticipated album 'Jesus Is King' was released by Kanye West. Since January of 2019, West has started a church and channeled a change in his music from Rap/ Hip Hop towards a Christian form of the style. He began then restyling music that was at one time a major Pop/ Hip hop hit into a biblical centered song focusing the lyrics to a christian narrative. The release of this album has been quite controversial with “The traditional Christian church has always frowned upon anything that is new and innovative,” Richard Smallwood, the renowned gospel singer and songwriter, tells TIME.
The album is now number 1 on over 22 Billboard charts. It is headlining the christian charts as well. Personally, I love the change Kanye has began making and I love seeing the videos from Sunday Service!
