When Kanye West finally released his new album Jesus is King on Friday morning, there was a complaint from some fans that the mix sounds out of place on the project.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

If you know Kanye well, that shouldn’t be a surprise at all. The rapper has now issued a new mix of his album on streaming services. The main difference is that the vocals on a lot of the tracks now sounded crisper than before. Regarding specific songs, ‘Follow God’ has a clear difference in quality while Pusha T’s verse on ‘Use This Gospel’ and Ant Clemons’ vocals on ‘Everything We Need’ are now significantly louder and cleaner.

#JIK was turned in at 4AM. I had @kanyewest approval to oversee Final mixes and mastering. It takes 8 hours for the LP to ingest into the Digital Streaming Platforms. I didn’t eat dinner so you guys could have this by Lunch time 12/1pm EST#QueensAllDay

How do you experience the new mix? You’d have to delete the download or the copy from your library on the respective streaming service and re-download it.

‘Ye is now notoriously known to issue new mixes of his albums after the initial release, despite the fact that he pushes them back constantly leading up to the release date. During The Life of Pablo era, Kanye added new tracks, new mixes and even updated tracks with new versions on streaming platforms. While some fans enjoyed the “living album,” others were irritated with the fact that they had to update their albums time and again, finding the experience unsettling.

When it came to his last album ye, the now Gospel artist adopted a similar strategy. A sample was removed from ‘I Thought About Killing You’ after it was never cleared while other songs received new mixes.
