Kanye West & Dr. Dre - Jesus Is King II (2022)

'Jesus Is King II' is a cancelled studio album collaboration between Kanye West and Dr. Dre, and as the name implies, it bears some relation to West's ninth studio album from 2019, 'Jesus Is King', primarily by having reworked versions of songs from that project. Unlike most other unreleased albums from West's catalogue, 'Jesus Is Lord II' has no direct successor, but as the album was being worked on concurrently with 'God's Country', then it can be assumed that it was scrapped in favour of that record, and/or 'Donda: With Child'. On 18 November 2019, less than one month after the release of 'Jesus Is King', West shared a tweet that read, "Ye and Dre Jesus is King Part II coming soon". On 16  January of the following year a Dr. Dre-produced version of 'Up From The Ashes' allegedly leaked, and although the song was released as part of 'Donda' in 2021, it was not the Dr. Dre version, while 'LA Monster' leaked two months later, leading to some speculation that it was part of the '...Part II' album. The last mention of the project by West was him thanking Eminem for hopping on the remix for 'Use This Gospel' later that same year, and this remix was actually released in 2022 as part of DJ Khaled's thirteenth album 'God Did'. After this, the album was never brought up again by either West or Dre, and so it was assumed to be completely cancelled. On 25 September 2023, a blind groupbuy occurred priced at $1,000, and on completion the contents were revealed to be a full copy of 'Thank God For Drugs', as well as a full copy of 'Jesus Is King: The Dr. Dre Version'. This leak would receive significant media attention in contrast to past leaks, given that it was a full copy of an album of which very few tracks had leaked in the past. So despite the mystery surrounding this album, it does actually exist and can now be heard by fans, who can judge if it's an improvement on the original version or not. It closes with the non-album 'This Is The Glory', an unreleased song by Kanye West and Dr. Dre, featuring Snoop Dogg, which may have been worked on for 'Jesus Is King II', although it wasn't included on the groupbuy disc, but it's just too good to ignore.
