An album from a man struggling with faith, and
stardom even though stardom always takes centre stage. More about Kanye than
anything else, this album has its moments Follow God, Use this Gospel , interesting production choices (Hands On) but
ultimately the final product is lacking in quality and feels incredibly rushed. The lyrics, occasionally approaching Alex Jones levels are absurd enough that he might soon start rapping about reptilian overlords and gay frogs. Not that conspiracy rap is subpar, but its forceful merger with Christianity is almost always a butchery, too rough yet superficial. None of the Songs on JIK come even close to Kanye's past Christian
related songs (Jesus Walks, Ultralight Beam).
Best Tracks: Follow God, Use this Gospel, On God (if you want a laugh)

Christian Rap/Gospel Rap
