Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’ Rumored Track List Leaked, Featuring Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, Charlie Wilson And God?
Kanye West's Yeezus isn't due until June 18 but a rumored track list has been leaked, featuring a slew of popular artists.
HHNM released the track list from a Swedish retailer, as well as a photo of the back cover of the album, supposedly taken at a manufacturing plant, MTV.com reports. The photo of the back cover shows the track list as well, which matches the leaked titles of songs from the retailer.
Yeezus features artists like Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, Chief Keef, Justin Vernon, Travis Scott, King L, and Charlie Wilson. The first three songs in the album, "On Sight," "Black Skinhead," and "I Am A God" are produced by Daft Punk.
Interestingly, "I Am A God" says it is featuring "God." Kanye has not commented on the leak, so cannot confirm what this means. However, this seems in line with a clip he posted on his website Wednesday, declaring "I am a god."
The album is expected to debut with 500,000 copies sold in its first week, USA Today reports. If this forecast is accurate, it would rank high in this year's album race. Daft Punk's Random Access Memories sold 339,000 copies its first week, while Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience topped charts in March with 968,000 copies. If Yeezus sells 500,000, it would be in second place, according to USA Today.
A boost to sales of the Yeezus album is the secrecy and minimal advertising Kanye West has utilized before its release.
"Nobody knows what it sounds like," said Keith Caulfield, Billboard's associate director of charts/retail. "There's no single, no video, no formal promotional rollout. The album kind of drops out of the sky with some mystery and excitement that can drive interest."
