Yeezus

For this 2013 release, the artist abandoned the polished soul samples of his past work. Instead, he opted for an abrasive, raw style that prioritizes unfiltered aggression and a minimalist approach to production.

Drawing influence from the Chicago drill scene and dark club music, the record features industrial textures. The finished result is a claustrophobic and jarring experience that maintains a sense of urgency through its direct, confrontational tone.
