Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has kept his word on dropping new music on Christmas. The hip-hop heavyweight has decided to celebrate the birth of Christ by dropping his new Jesus Is Born album to the masses.
After mounted anticipation, Ye came through on the big release Wednesday afternoon.
According to Complex, Jesus Is Born will be released at 3 p.m. ET on December 25. If you are unable to listen to it at that designated time, you can stream and listen to it at your convenience.

The rapper and producer made the announcement in a pre-recorded interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Live in October, ahead of the release of his latest album, Jesus is King. He referred to it as a “Sunday Service” album. It is unclear whether Jesus is Born will be another gospel-influenced record, a traditional hip-hop album, or West covering his favourite Christmas songs. (Independent)
