Kanye West's Latest Album Leaked On The Internet

Kanye West’s latest album called “Yeezus” was leaked online this Friday causing the world of Twitter to nearly combust. The long awaited album trended almost immediately causing some of his fans to access some less than legal sites and download the artist’s latest songs.

The songs aren't all that leaked with the back cover being available online, showing all the collaborators and samples that were used in the making of “Yeezus”.

Some of the samples used come from artists like Nina Simone, Capleton and Beenie Man, Latimore, Marley Marl even classic rock band Omega.

The most impressive song sampled is Nina Simone’s “Strange Fruit”, which is used in “Blood on the Leaves” a song Kanye wrote about the lynching of a black man.

The album also has a lot of other big names with which the hip hop star recorded songs like Daft Punk, Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, and Chief Keef.

In a recent interview, Kanye seemed hardly worried by the possible effects this Friday’s leak can have on total album sales. He said that “at this point”, him selling a specific number of albums is less important than putting out something that will be relevant all summer long.

Kanye West’s latest album “Yeezus”, his sixth release is officially coming out next Tuesday.
