Enlisting the help of The-Dream, Chance the Rapper, Kelly Price, famed gospel singer Kirk Franklin, and a 32 piece choir, West starts his album with a prayer: “This is a God dream/ This is everything,” he repeats continuously, his voice saturated with auto-tune. The album starts at breakneck speed with “Ultralight Beam,” a personal soliloquy on the rapper’s faith in God. Billed by West himself as a modern “gospel album,” TLOP is dripping with soulful hooks and soaring choir homages to the traditional African American church hymns of his youth.
