To drop an album or not to drop an album? That is the question. <\/p>\n

Safe to say, only Kanye West<\/a><\/strong>holds the answers to that question. The rapper’s forthcoming album Jesus Is King<\/em> was supposed to drop on Friday, Sept. 27, however, Variety<\/a> <\/em>is now reporting that sources close to the situation say that’s not looking very likely. The album was initially announced in late August of this year thanks to a tweet<\/a> from the musician’s doting wife, Kim Kardashian<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Kim tweeted a pic<\/a> of the album title, release date, track list, and captioned the pic with a simple praying hands emoji. If the album isn’t happening, then Kim sure doesn’t know it yet. Early on Wednesday the Keeping Up with the Kardashians<\/em> star re-tweeted a fan post<\/a> about the album dropping in two days. <\/p>\n

While neither Kanye or Kim have announced anything contrary to the album’s arrival on Friday, this wouldn’t be the first time the star has delayed a project. In fact, around the same time last year, Kanye announced that his album Yandhi<\/em> would be released in September, before moving the date back to November, and then ultimately never releasing it. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

It remains to be seen if we’ll be getting new music from Kanye this week, but this album would mark a departure from some of his past work. Over the last year the musician has received praise for his Sunday Services<\/a><\/em>. These services became star-studded events<\/a> and brought out stars like Brad Pitt<\/a><\/strong> and Chance the Rapper<\/strong>. He even held an Easter service at Coachella<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considering the title of the album and track names like “God Is,” Baptized,” and “Sweet Jesus,” it looks like this album may have a lot of religious overtones. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

No one can be sure what Kanye has up his sleeve, but we’re hoping it’s an album! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
