Jesus Is King is expected to have collaborations with Clipse (Pusha T and No Malice), Kenny G, supposedly Young Thug, and others.

Fake Shore Drive creator Andrew Barber posted on Twitter the other week that the rapper plans to focus on gospel music in the future, "Kanye also announced that he is no longer making secular music. Only Gospel from here on out."

Jesus Is King will be West's first solo album since last year's ye.
