Uproxx reports:
It took much longer than expected, but Kanye West’s new album, Jesus Is King, is finally here. The Christian-themed album was originally set to be released around this time last month, but its release date was pushed back multiple times. Kanye has started promoting the record with a big blue Jesus Is King bus that’s driving around New York City and playing the album. The bus has a number of stops planned around the city between noon and tonight.
The New Music Express reports:
West said: “Now that I’m in service to Christ, my job is to spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus has done for me,” he said. “I’ve spread a lot of things. There was a time I was letting you know what high fashion had done for me, I was letting you know what the Hennessey had done for me, but now I’m letting you know what Jesus has done for me, and in that I’m no longer a slave, I’m a son now, a son of God. I’m free.”

As if those double-decker tourist buses weren’t obnoxious enough, now they have musical flashing billboards!?
