The world currently awaits Yeezus to bless us with more than a 30 second clip of his new music. For those who have had the honor to hear Kanye West’s new project, they have had nothing but positive words to say.

“It sounds incredible. He’s focused, energetic, happy and making unbelievably great music. Kanye always wants to make sure that when it actually arrives it’s at the best possible place it could be, that the first song is as big as the last,” Steve Bartels, the recently appointed CEO of Def Jam said in an interview with Billboard. “He’s the absolute bar of perfection in terms of that. I tell him all the time: Some of his previous albums are still testing out in the marketplace as high, if not higher, than when they first came out because the music is still fresh to people.”
