Kanye West Announces New Album God’s Country, to Release New Song

Kanye West has had a few tricks up his sleeve as of late and most recently, the rapper has announced the title of a new album and a new song.

On Monday morning (June 29), Kanye revealed via Twitter that the title of his forthcoming album is God’s County. The name of the project had been shared by renowned Black cinematographer, Arthur Jafa, last month. However, ‘Ye has finally confirmed. He also shared that he will be dropping a new project for an unreleased song, which will likely be a visual directed by Jafa, called “Wash Us in the Blood” today.

“KANYE WEST ARTHUR JAFA PROJECT 02 WASH US IN THE BLOOD FROM THE FORTHCOMING ALBUM GOD’S COUNTRY TODAY STILL #WESTDAYEVER,” ‘Ye wrote in a tweet.

“Wash Us in the Blood” will be the first music the G.O.O.D. Music founder has released since 2019 when he delivered Jesus Is King and his Sunday Service Choir’s Jesus Is Born.

Back in May, a conversation between Jafa and fashion icon Michèle Lamy surfaced on the internet, in which the cinematographer divulged a bit of information regarding the Chicago native’s album.

“It’s from his new record,” Jafa said when asked about the video he is working on with Kanye. “It’s called God’s Country and this will be, like, the first single, I guess, off of it. I don’t know if I’m ’posed to not be announcing it or whatever. I may just be spilling the beans. But yeah, it’s from a new record that’s forthcoming. I don’t know when the album is coming out but the single, I think, maybe sometime next week. Maybe. It’s not sure. It’s not definite.”

This isn’t the first collaborative effort between ‘Ye and Jafa. The cinematographer’s 2016 visual, Love Is the Message, The Message Is Death, features reflective moments of the Black experience played over Kanye’s “Ultralight Beam” from his The Life of Pablo album.

Megan Thee Stallion Shares Her Resilience and Grief In A New Documentary, “In Her Words”

Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion, celebrated for her fierce confidence and electrifying performances, recently opens up in a new documentary that delves deep into the intimate struggles behind her public persona. In “In Her Words,” streaming now on Prime Video, the Houston rapper and superstar bravely recounts one of her life’s most devastating moments: the heartbreak surrounding the death of her mother, Holly Thomas, in 2019. Megan’s experience of resilience and vulnerability shines as she shares the heartbreaking decision to take her mother off life support and how this tragic event of loss immensely impacted her life.

Throughout the documentary, Megan reveals how her mother’s health deteriorated rapidly due to back-to-back seizures, ultimately leaving her unresponsive and eventually brain-dead. Holly Thomas was more than just family; not only her mother but also her manager, mentor, and most prominent supporter. She had always been Megan’s guiding force, the foundation of her artistry, instrumental in shaping her career. With honesty and tenderness, Megan describes spending each day by her mother’s side, hoping for a miracle. But as time went on, watching her mother’s condition remain unchanged, Megan knew what her mother would want, facing the heart-wrenching realization that her mother would not come back to let her go.

“They had to put her under, and she was just brain dead,” Megan recounts. “I stayed up there every day… just praying that she could shake back from it,” she said. “But once I realized she wasn’t coming back, I knew I couldn’t keep her like this.” She made the decision, and her mother passed the following day.

The documentary highlights the depth of their relationship and the irreplaceable loss Megan faced. With her mother gone, she felt an unfamiliar emptiness. “When my mama passed away,” she shares, “I think I really forgot who I was. I lost a lot of confidence because I was so used to my mama telling me what to do.” The absence of her mother’s guidance hit Megan personally and professionally, leaving Megan adrift, grappling to rediscover herself alone amid her grief.
