Rapper Kanye West has named his sixth studio album Yeezus, which is an amalgamation of his nickname Yeezy and Lord Jesus.
West, 35, who is expecting his first child with reality star girlfriend Kim Kardashian, also premiered two songs titled 'Black Skinhead' and 'New Slaves' featuring Frank Ocean during his appearance as the musical guest on a TV show, reported Digital Spy.
Yeezus is expected to be released on June 18 after the rapper posted the date on micro-blogging site Twitter last month.
