The...

Say hello to the new "No Church In The Wild." Yeezus isn't even out yet, and its music is already making its way onto the big screen.

Last night Kanye West closed out New York City's Governor's Ball music festival. In addition to performing his classics and the previously premiered "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead," Kanye also performed three other new songs, which will presumably appear on his forthcoming LP, Yeezus...

After hearing it via worldwide projections and a live performance on Saturday Night Live, we finally get a taste of the studio version of "New Slaves". June 18 can't come soon enough.
