The promo run for Kanye West’s sixth album officially began this past weekend.

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 18th.

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.
