Kanye West Released A New Song “Wash Us in the Blood”

Kanye West has delivered a new song and visual.

On Monday (June 29), the Chicago rhymer announced the name of his forthcoming album, God’s Country, via Twitter. At that time, he also shared that a new project with cinematographer Arthur Jafa was going to be released for a record titled “Wash Us in the Blood.” This morning (June 30), Kanye made good on his promise as the Jafa-directed visual is here and it features Travis Scott.

The video begins with footage from a protest in Florida, where a Black female officer from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department can be seen scolding her colleague for pushing a kneeling protester to the ground earlier this month. The visual then shows two individuals, who appear to be struggling to breathe, receiving medical attention. Ye’s new video seems to encapsulate the many aspects the country is currently facing including the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement protests.

“And they tryna control ‘Ye/They want me to calm down/They don’t want me to be Kanye/They don’t want Kanye to be Kanye/They wanna sign a fake Kanye, they tryna sign a calm ’Ye/That’s right I call him Calm ’Ye, but don’t take me the wrong way/But don’t take me the wrong way, its got took me a long way,” ‘Ye raps on the record.

La Flame then spits, “Let it off, set it off/Execution, thirty states (That’s right)/Thirty states still execute (Ah)/Thou shall not kill, I shall not spill, Nextels at the rendezvous (Ooh)/We dodgin’ time in the federal (Get ’em)/Squad box you in like a sectional/We walk through the glass and the residue (Ooh)/Now look what we headed to (Ah).”

The newly released video is Mr. West’s first visual since dropping the Jake Schreier-directed “Closed on Sunday” last November. Nearly a month after the video was offered, Kanye delivered Jesus Is King and his Sunday Service Choir’s album, Jesus Is Born.

Kanye’s new music comes after the announcement of his 10-year deal with Gap for his YZY Gap line. The decade-long partnership, which will launch online and in stores in the first half of 2021, will be comprised of “modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points.” He has also enlisted Nigerian designer Mowalola Ogunlesi to commandeer the design direction of the new line.

Ye also informed fans last week that he and Kid Cudi’s Kids See Ghosts album will be transformed into an animated kids show. Both rappers shared the news on Friday (June 26), revealing that the program is animated and directed by Tekashi Murakami. The show, which features the Kanye bear used in the rapper’s first three albums—The College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation—and a fox named Kid Fox. Ye is the voice of the bear while Cudi is the voice of the fox.

It’s unclear when the cartoon will officially premiere.

Dirty Hands Nation sings don’t follow blindly, do your research with latest release “Due Deligence”

Dirty Hands Nation

Dirty Hands Nation comes out swinging with a strong message on “Due Diligence,” a daring single that harnesses frustration, awareness, and determination in a bold musical statement. It is more than a song; it is a call to question narratives, challenge assumptions, and think critically about the systems that shape everyday life.

“Due Diligence” is a phrase that encapsulates a philosophy that you should only stand up for what matters after consideration and research. The track itself is guided by the title in its entirety. Dirty Hands Nation emphasizes that conviction is not about going along with the crowd, and encourages its audience to dig deeper into matters before deciding.

Where the song works best is in its direct engagement with politics and economics. It raises questions of war, government spending, inflation, corporate power, health care, and the financial burden on regular people. The track talks about these issues, not as abstract ideas, but from the point of view of regular people who are most affected by these decisions.

Dirty Hands Nation delivers a passionate, thought-provoking release with purpose and conviction in “Due Diligence.” It’s a track that’s meant to spark conversation, challenge complacency, and remind us that opinions of consequence are built on inquiry, understanding, and due diligence.

Red Eye Wright

Red Eye Wright drops his newest single, “Alicia Keynote,” with confidence and conviction, a song that is built upon lyrical sharpness, memorable punchlines, and a vocal presence that will not be overlooked. This song is filled with rap lines that display both ambition and personality, and it sounds like a proclamation from an artist who is eager to leave his mark.

“Alicia Keynote” lives from its relentless energy and wordplay from the first moments. Red Eye Wright’s vocal texture is one of the strongest assets on the track, he carries each line with a kind of authority and character that lends itself naturally to a rapper who’s concerned with making every bar count. His delivery is assured, not forced, letting the lyrics take centre stage.

“You don’t know it, but you’re going to know my name. It’s a line that sums up the song’s spirit in a nutshell, a combination of self-belief, determination, and hunger. The lyric feels less like a boast and more like a mission statement, a window for listeners into the mind that powered the record.

Another good line is “who’s to say what’s the right way to say anything when music goes over your head like say anything,” which shows the creative thinking behind the writing. It demonstrates Red Eye Wright’s love of playing with language, challenging expectations, and generating moments that reward the attentive listener.
