The album was previously titled God’s Country, but was changed to honor his mother, the late Donda West, who died in 2007 from surgery complications. On his mother’s birthday, he shared the title track, which features her reciting the lyrics to KRS-One’s “Sound da Police.”

Meanwhile, Kanye continues his campaign for president.
