The origin for the title Yeezus is a play on Kanye’s well-known alias of “Yeezy” combined with the name of Jesus Christ and according to iTunes you can pre order the LP before it drops on June 18^th.

Kim Kardashian, the rapper’s girlfriend and soon-to-be mother of his child, posted a picture of the album artwork for Yeezus over the weekend in support of the project.
