It’s unofficially Yeezy season.

Though its official release date isn’t until next week, Kanye West’s sixth album Yeezus leaked today on the Internet, sending the hip-hop world into a frenzy.

The 10-track album is among one of the summer’s most highly anticipated albums and social media immediately began to debate if Yeezus was a classic or a dud.

Kanye claims Yeezus is a departure from the soul sample rap production that he made him a household name, and a transition into a “black new wave” sound he’s beginning to embrace.
