The last two days have been full of surprises for Kanye West fans. Following the worldwide debut of “New Slaves” and his performance on “SNL,” Mr. West has unveiled what appears to be the artwork for his sixth solo album Yeezus, available June 18.

The unconventional cover looks like a melted gold object, possibly a Jesus piece. A piece of red duct tape is stuck to the side, with the title “Yeezus” handwritten with a Sharpie. The black-and-white CD shows behind the clear jewel case. The image was posted on ‘Ye’s official site along with a pre-order link, but it was later removed.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye’s manager Don C. also posted a photo of the CD on their Instagram accounts.
