It’s really hard to keep an album from leaking in today’s music industry, a fact that Kanye West has learned. considering that he’s already hosted listening parties, it was almost as if he was asking for Yeezus to be put out before June 18, but his record label is not happy with it.
According to TMZ, Def Jam has a special ‘leaks division’ that tries to go after leakers. The division is going on full steam to find out how the album was leaked overnight and to put a stop to it. Sources for the site claim that they have a lead on the source of the leak and hope to get the mystery solved as soon as possible.
However, West could care less. After all, the album comes out in three days. He’s already shown off the album cover and held listening parties.
E! News notes that he held his first listening party for his famous friends, fans and critics. At the Milk Studios, NYC event, everyone got to hear ten tracks, which include “New Slaves,” “I Am a God,” “Black Skinhead” and “Hold My Liquor.” Billboard has already posted a track-by-track review of the album.
Yeezus hits stores on June 18. to promote the album, West also gave a rare interviewto the New York Times, calling himself the Michael Jordan of music.
