(FW) – As fans eagerly await the official release of Kanye West’s trailblazing “Jesus is King” album — originally scheduled for Friday, September 27 — the hip-hop superstar has reportedly announced that he will be exclusively creating faith-based music from now on. Early Sunday morning, Andrew Barber of the Chicago hip-hop music blog Fake Shore Drive tweeted the news after attending West’s second listening of the album. “Kanye also announced that he is no longer making secular music.

Only Gospel from here on out,” Barber wrote. No video is available from the listening session, as it was a “no phone event,” but Barber tweeted an image of the album art: “Jesus is King” is now slated to drop Sunday evening after a third and final listening in New York. Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, initially announced the September 27 release back in August, before a series of roadblocks delayed the faith-filled project.
