Background

In September 2018, West announced that he began recording his ninth studio album Yandhi.[2] West formed his gospel group Sunday Service Choir in January 2019.[3] West says he was "radically saved" in April 2019 and later enlisted a personal pastor for weekly Bible studies.[4] In August 2019, West's ninth studio album was re-announced as Jesus Is King.[5] In September 2019, West stated that he was no longer making secular music and that Jesus Is King would have no explicit lyrics.[6] Jesus Is King was ultimately released on October 25, 2019;[7] the companion gospel album Jesus Is Born was then released on Christmas Day.[8] On November 18, 2019, West announced on Twitter that he was working with Dr. Dre on a project entitled Jesus Is King Part II.[9] The announcement arrived just three weeks after Jesus Is King was released.[10]
