This makes it West's shortest album. Jesus Is King was released on October 25th, 2019. It was released by Def Jam Records and GOOD Music. Jesus Is King is very different from West's other music.[1] It is inspired by gospel and Christian music. It has vocals from The Sunday Service Choir, Ant Clemons, Ty Dolla $ign, Fred Hammond, Clipse, and Kenny G. Many critics did not like the album.[2] It is West’s worst-reviewed album.[2][1] All sequels to this album, including Jesus Is King II, God’s Country, and Yandhi, were scrapped. The album Donda (2021) was made instead.
