The album artwork for Kanye West’s Yeezus is a stark, minimalistic red and black design. It was created by the British artist, Wes Lang, who has previously collaborated with West on his artworks. The artwork features a crucifix, a skull, and the phrase “Yeezus” written in red on a black background. It also features lyrics of West’s “New Slaves”, a point in which the hip-hop artist speaks to the cultural and racial injustice in the world. The artwork reflects West’s social commentary, with references to Christianity and the struggle to overcome injustice. As such, the Yeezus artwork is largely seen as a representation of West’s dedication to political and social activism.
