Jesus Is King is Kanye West’s most arthouse album.
I’m surprised that “Jesus Is King” was Kanye’s lowest-rated album, especially considering that it sounds fresher than anything that came out in 2019 overall. Don’t think fresher = better, because this album is far from ideal. And there is a feeling …
