So Help Me God was the original name of Kanye West’s seventh album, but in May, he changed it to the decidedly less interesting title of SWISH. Now, just days before the album is set to hit stores on February 11th, Kanye has changed the title again. It’s now called Waves.
Waves is also the title of fellow Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins’s recent EP. Jenkins doesn’t seem too upset though.
Indie rockers Wavves have also chimed in.
As reported earlier today, Kanye’s Waves will be premiered during a February 11th event at Madison Square Garden, which will also be screened in movie theaters across the world.
