So help Kanye West, God, to pick the name for his long-awaited new album. Only a week before releasing the highly-anticipated project, the rapper revealed in a Thursday morning, February 4 interview with Big Boy on L.A. radio station Real 92.3 that he hadn't set an official title for what we thought would be called "Waves".
"We don't have a name yet," he said when asked about what everyone's been wondering since his wife Kim Kardashian posted on Twitter earlier this week a couple of polls proving that the "Waves" was the least favorable title for the follow-up to 2013's "Yeezus".
The now-untitled set, which was initially announced last year as "So Help Me God" before getting retitled to "Swish", is scheduled to come out on February 11. 'Ye will debut it during a Yeezy Season 3 event at New York's Madison Square Garden on the same day.
In the same interview, Kanye also discussed the album being a Gospel one, his feud with Wiz Khalifa and many more. "This is a gospel album with a whole lot of cursing on it, but it's still a gospel album. It's the gospel, according to 'Ye. It's not exactly what happened in the Bible, but it's a story of this idea of Mary Magdalene becoming Mary," he explained.
Of squashing beef with Wiz, he said, "My brother Malik Yusef got us on the phone. He's very close with Wiz. He's also very close with me. We chopped it up, squashed it. For people who felt a way about the kid comment, I didn't mean it in a harmful way. I just saw my wife's initials and reacted because that's my family."
