Kanye West continues his creative tear with a new Yeezy Gap commercial and video for the Donda track “Heaven & Hell.”
The multidisciplinary artist debuted the double whammy on ESPN during the NCAA championship game on Monday (January 10). The stark black-and-white visual puts multiple black Yeezy Gap sweatshirts on display, serving as the ideal ad for their latest collaborative item.
Beginning with a sample of the 20th Century Steel Band’s 1975 single “Heaven and Hell Is on Earth,” the track sets the mood for the eerie vibe of the visual. As the camera pans to the faceless figures wearing the Yeezy Gap sweatshirts, Kanye raps, “No more promos, no more photos/No more logos, no more chokeholds. We on Bezos, we get payrolls/Trips to Lagos, connect like LEGOs/Make this final, make this, my eyes closed/Burn false idols, Jesus’ disciples.”
Early Monday, Kanye West and Netflix released a new trailer and the release date for Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, a three-part documentary about his life that comes to theaters on February 10 before hitting Netflix on February 16.
