Hip-hop artist Kanye West releases his new song “Wash Us In The Blood” that shows the dark and ugly truth about racial inequality. In the song, he pleads the Holy Spirit to come down.
“Wash Us In Blood”
On June 30, the hip-hop icon, Kanye West, premiered his new single titled “Wash Us In The Blood” that speaks a bold message on racism. The music video that was uploaded on YouTube contains a montage of video clips that shows the dark and ugly truth about racial inequality.
Kanye partnered with the award-winning filmmaker Arthur Jafa and producer Dr. Dre to make this project possible. After professing his new-found faith a few years ago, Kanye has since been creating music that has powerful Christian themes.

Recently, the father of four kids broke his silence about the issue of racial inequality that America has been facing. Through the song, he exposed the distasteful truth about the prejudices for the black community.
Kanye raps:
Shower us with your love
Wash us in the blood
Drop this for the thugs
Know I grew up in the mud
The top is not enough
Wash us in the blood
“God’s Country”
The video filled with chaos and prayer ends with Kanye’s 7-year-old daughter North dancing to his Sunday service choir.
“Wash us in the blood of Jesus. Holy Spirit comes down. We need you,” Kanye prays on the background.
The song tells us that it is only God who can heal this unjust and chaotic world, it is only through prayer that we can win this battle. It is on Kanye’s 10th album titled “God’s Country” that will be released later this year.
